I was humming along pretty well in the birdwatching department once we got some cold and snow in January. I saw many more juncos, woodpeckers, nuthatches and finches. At one point I counted 33 goldfinches which means I had to refill the thistle feeders about every other day to keep up with demand.
But now that the mild weather has returned and I can see patches of brown in the lawn, the birds have once again disappeared.
