Very good! When mixed flocks come through, keep an eye out for a Brown creeper. They won't come to the feeder but will travel in flocks of other birds. They're small and brown (duh!) and they work their way UP and around tree trunks. Nuthatches will work their way down the trunk in a spiral and Brown creepers will do the opposite.
Re: birds on SBH & a relative absence of them, as noted from Amy's recent dearth of sightings. It was a topic for discussion last week with SBH friends, & they explained to me that the success of the island's mosquito abatement program has meant that there are fewer insects, as well as mosquitoes. Birds, as a result, are thought to have less of a food supply . . . resulting in them going elsewhere. Sounds logical.
