Carol Reese Ornamental Horticulture Specialist -Western District University of Tennessee Extension Service 605 Airways Blvd. Jackson TN 38301 731 425 4721 email jreese5@xxxxxxx I was wondering if others have noticed a change in feeder populations this fall. People have been asking me where the cardinals are this year, and white throated sparrows... I moved this summer to an entirely different ecological community (wetland) and thought that my shortage of common feeder birds was simply due to my location. This has been a long warm fall, so maybe some birds haven't migrated yet, but still, most of our cardinals are year round residents...anyone else notice population differences this year?
