I am sad that our Blue birds seem to have vanished. I walk a half mile circle and there has always been Blue Birds along the route plus some in our yard. But none this spring. They have always enjoyed the bird bath. I am not seeing along my routes into town either. We are in a rural area and they have always been on the field fences or wires above the farm fields & pastures.
We have had a Cooper's going thru regularly the last few months. Sharp-shin hawks used to be common in our yard but has been years since I have seen one.
