Where are the Pine Siskins? The Redpolls? We certainly are missing a few of our regular winter visitors this year. Apparently there are many people noticing the absence of birds this winter. There are many theories out there. This winter, with it's lack of snow, seems to be suspected as the main culprit. Yesterday, we visited the Wild Birds Unlimited Store and the woman there was saying that they are experiencing a drop in seed sales as there just aren't the same number of birds in the area this year.
