Missing Birds?

By Joyce

We live in the Garden/ Figueroa area and have noticed a diminished bird population since February.

Not unusual for the goldfinches to take a hiatus, but the mockingbirds, Acorn Woodpeckers are down to one or two. 

We still have two Eurasian Collared-Doves, and a definite crow presence: two that foul the birdbaths by softening their food in them.

Has anyone else noticed this?

  1. They’re not missing, they’re over here. Be glad to send the ‘peckers and mockingbirds back. Send me your address and I’ll tell them. I running out of stones to toss at them. The doves are no problem and are nesting and so we’ll let them be. The jays are okay, as long as they get their peanuts every day. PS: my two free-to-range cats do not terrorize the birds and tree squirrels. They’re fine bringing home blue belly lizards (alive and usually unharmed) and occasionally gophers and we’re fine that they’re dead.
