I think it’s the cold weather.
Birds are nervous about their food supply so are checking out all neighbourhood feeders closely.
["Three of seven remained after hearing my teeth chatter?": photos GAH]
They’re even sifting through several fresh layers of snow in search of the seeds I scattered on my deck recently.
["The good stuff is down under the snow"]
They’re finding plenty of seeds but fly off whenever I tip toe down by back stairs, camera in hand, and peek from behind window curtains.
["Politely waiting his turn": photos GAH]
Where seven sparrows and chickadees were perched (Where was my female cardinal?), no doubt politely waiting their turn on the ground or at feeders, three remained by the time I focussed on them.
I swear they hear me breathing.
Because it’s cold on the stairs, maybe my teeth were chattering.

Are birds visiting your feeder(s)? What type do you see?
