anyone still seeing the red birds (cardinals)??? [View all]

A lot of birds are not arpund our place in SW Ala. this year. It is very very quiet in the mornings. I see an occasional mockingbird, and of course the usual small number of vultures.
the blue jays left a few days ago, and there were not many of them.
This time of year, we always have had Red birds, and lots of small seed eating birds..not a peep..cannot remember last time I saw a cardinal.

Anyone ?????
