We noticed a decline in our area around July 25 - it coincided with the Canadian wildfire smoke that has been drifting into the state for the last couple of years.
I normally fill our two birdbaths several times a day, now I'm down to freshening them up in the morning and evening - but it's really not necessary. I make sure they're full of fresh water in case any of the birds decide to swing back through.
We're mostly missing the robins and orioles. The orioles were a sweet surprise this spring, they were nesting close by.
Still seeing plenty of finch, bluejays, and crows. We saw a morning dove at the bath yesterday morning.
Lots of hummingbirds and deer (who take advantage of getting a little drink at the birdbaths overnight). The turkey-borg hord is plentiful 
Peeked out the back window last night and saw a baby deer nursing with her momma, very sweet.
I miss my dirty birdies!
