Where did all the birds go? Do they go elsewhere when there's been a lot of rain?

Wednesday/Thursday there was a ton of activity at the bird feeders/baths, as I watched from the computer room using the spy cam.  Mostly the song sparrows, but there were those occasional visits from the cardinals and even most recently the house finches.

But yesterday/today (Friday/Saturday) only seeing a few occasional visits from the song sparrows.

Certainly there are puddles around now with all the rain we've had the last few days, so they don't need these baths.

Saturday evening update:  Seriously!  Where did they go... even the song sparrows I'm hardly seeing.

Come back!!!

Yesterday I bought/installed a new feeder (the plastic walls with nice big roof and "floor" -- using this one for sunflowers), and this evening another one (the all-metal one with perches -- using this one for the mixed seed).  The plastic home-made tray feeder is still being used for millet.
