Anybody else notice a dramatic decrease in birds in central Iowa? I should have 30+ pair by now. I'm down at least 10 pair now.

Maybe the big push has been laying back waiting for the weather to moderate.

Any thoughts.....?

I think they are delayed and still coming. ASY's are still arriving here, and no subs yet.

I thought this also earlier, but am pretty full now, and only have seen 1 subbie. Yours will come just a little later.
