Activity at my feeders this "winter" is the slowest I can remember. That's
easy to explain by the lack of snow and abundance of food, but how do
you explain this scarcity out in the field? There are plenty of waterfowl
around but land birds are difficult to find. Further north there are some
winter finches, but in Toronto I have yet to see even one Evening Grosbeak.
Are the birds avoiding just me or are other birders finding the same
general scarcity? And I'm not referring just to winter finches--even birds
like chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers are not common. Birding is
supposed to be fun, not hard work. What gives?

Hello, hello... is anybody out there????


	Happy Birding!
