[Tweeters] Worried about lack of birds at my feeders

[Laura-Mae Baldwin via Tweeters]

I live north of the University in Seattle and near both the Roosevelt reservoir and Ravenna Park. Usually we have a robust showing of chickadees, nuthatches, Bewick's wrens, Stellars jays, and crows and all seem to be largely missing this year. Crows have always been regulars, but I put out peanuts days ago and no one has come to claim them. I fear a collapse of the bird population in this area. Are others experiencing the same?

We have had a Townsend's warbler, goldfinches, yellow-rumped warblers on and off and I did hear a Varied Thrush a few weeks ago. But these are rarities rather than regulars even in good years.

Hoping for reassurance.
Thank you
Laura-Mae
