For ten days now I have not seen a single bird or squirrel. Not a one. I am very disturbed by this. Does anybody else notice anything like this?

Most likely fall migration.

Many of the birds I feed have moved on for winter.

It's happening in other areas as well. Here in the Myrtle Beach area they've been gone for at least a year. We used to have lots of squirrels but I haven't seen one in a long time.

Nope. See plenty around me. There was a squirrel in my side yard this morning, pissing my cat off through the window.

Look around to see if a predator is hanging around your bird feeder such as a hawk, owl, cat, etc.

No. The cardnels, doves, woodpeckers etc. stay here for the winter. And where are the squirles? They don't migrate. I have been here for years and this is not right.

Also check to be sure you don't have a teenage boy living nearby. They love to shoot anything that moves with a bb gun.

Re: The Birds and the Squirrels are Gone
When the tsunami happened a few years ago in Thailand very few if any animals were killed because tey instinctively moved to higher ground.

I'm not saying you should expect a tsunami but it may be something to think about.

Animals are much more clued into nature than we humans are.

Re: The Birds and the Squirrels are Gone
bird populations are decimated all over the globe. This is not up for dispute. FACT.
This is chemtrails. They are destroying the ecosphere and probably us as well.

Well, not sure.

Could be local food supply, local environmental factors, etc.

I volunteer at a wildlife hospital, and there has been no significant change in the bird population that I know of.

I speak from a local perspective.
