months and then about 90% of the birds were gone.

Being September, I figured it might be seasonal, but I don't remember such a drop off from last year (but I wasn't watching the feeder as much, either).

Earlier this summer there were some gorgeous goldfinches - flying sunshine. I love them all, though; I probably have a softer spot for the sparrows and wrens simply because they're not as colorful.

Thanks for the reassurance, Curmudgeoness.
