Just this week I noticed the drop too, but then yesterday I realized we have a juvenile Coopers Hawk learning to hunt in the neighborhood. He's been chasing squirrels with great frustration (fun to watch, they just taunt him) and has discovered the birds coming into my yard for the feeders and water.
Perhaps you have one as well?

Birds sing during the breeding season or leading up to it, so most song has now tapered off or ended. Breeding birds are now dispersing. Some birds are entering their annual molt and become more secretive. In residential areas, this spells fewer bird detections.

I'm very new at this so wasn't sure if that normal for this time of year? But even in the mornings, I don't see or hear the birds. Had a house finch at my feeder a couple of days ago, but he was my only visitor. On Monday, August 10, 2020 at 7:48:52 AM UTC-6, Norma J.
