We always have a lot of birds, all kinds and we have a large feeder outside our kitchen window. Other than crows and a few vultures, we haven't seen any birds in the past month! Very unusual. Have any of you seen a decrease in the bird population in your area? :rolleyes2: PJ
 
We're having our rear deck replaced,& when the top was removed
(& the birdhouse on it),the Bluebirds came back.
I think they were ticked that their home had dissapeared.
 
Bluejays and Cardinals down here, some other assorted migratory orn too. We've lots of Ibis and Sand Hill Cranes loafing in the area as well. Hawks and scavenging carrion eaters are always around.
 
Lots of songbirds in our area. They average 2 lbs of birdseed per week from their feeder/hopper. Filling again today was like ringing the breakfast bell. Native bird population and other creatures benefit from an Audubon Sanctuary that's just up the road from our house.
 
We have lot's of yellow finches, hummingbirds, Doves, crows or ravens, owls and more.
Guess we're lucky.

No shortage of birds in central TX. We're in a new neighborhood and the constant construction noise has shooed some away, but we still have plenty of hawks, vultures, buzzards, mourning doves, hummingbirds, a bunch of smaller ones I can't identify, owls, and blue jays (which I have only heard but not seen).

Last night my wife woke me up around midnight asking why our phone kept ringing. I finally realized it may have been a bird! It sounded remarkably like a modern phone except it trailed off at the very end -- that was the only indication that it was organic and not electronic. Still no idea what species it could have been. We had never heard it before. I don't think the mockingbirds would make one single sustained sound like that? They usually sound more like a car alarm gone berserk, switching tunes every half-second or so.
