<div dir="ltr">Michelle & I have just this winter taken to feeding the birds and enjoying the spectacular show that results in our back yard. But I have a question that perhaps some of you who may have been birdwatchers/feeders for a longer period of time can answer.<div>
<br></div><div style>I'm puzzled by the seeming random nature of feeding times and density. Some days it seems like there's somebody on one of the feeders just about every minute of the day (btw sunrise and sunset, obviously). But other days - like today - you wouldn't know there were any birds in our area. I literally haven't seen a single one today. Where do they go? Do they practice groupthink? Is there some cosmic cyclical calendar that drives this that we're unaware of?</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>(Of course, they must have heard me typing. Looking at now I see that suddenly the downy woodpecker, house finches, doves, and cardinals are all out there now!)</div><div style><br></div><div style>
We were wondering if they have Sunday morning picnics over in the park somewhere, maybe worshiping in the church or temple of their choice?? </div></div>
