I live about 100 miles north of San Francisco. Usually they are here long before now. I've only seen a few. Same feeder, same place. The mobile home park I live in had tree trimmers here about two months ago and they trimmed all the trees, bushes and hedges in the park. I wonder if they scared them off? They were here working for about four days.
