--e89a8ff1c09c7cc63e04e08beb5c Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi All; This does not appear to be a great summer for breeding success. In our yard the only evidence of fledged young is Common Grackles, and both Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers. A bust so far for juncos, sparrows, jays, robins, finches, and doves. And the hummingbirds seem to have disappeared completely. Three or four were around the feeders regularly up to a few days ago, but no sign of any now, and others nearby who feed hummers have reported the same disappearance. What is everyone else's experience?
