MOU: I have a question that I need help answering. We have fed birds for many years and typically have marveled at how many come to our feeders. This entire winter and spring all feeders have remained steadily busy until this last week where we have had so few song birds and woodpeckers. We were out of town for a week but had our neighbor fill the feeders plus add fresh water to the bird baths and when we returned there was a noticeable decline in birds coming here. In fact we hardly have any. Before we left town all feeders were busy with activity.
The bird seed is fresh, only bought it maybe a month ago. The feeders had been cleaned out about a month ago, rinsed well and dried. The suet feeders are clean and filled with fresh suet. The hummingbird feeders also clean with fresh sugar water and were clean before we left town. We wondered if an owl or hawk might have taken up residence near by but we feel we would have seen some activity around a nest or hole in a tree and we have seen none. Please help solve our mystery. Thank you! Susan Susan Gilmore sgph...@mninter.net 612-382-1171 ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
