Appears mine have left. Heavy rain & wind yesterday- July 31st & 25 degree temperature plummet on eastern Long Island, NY. Frantic activity on July 30th, guessing flock was urging all the youngsters to get a move on. Only 3 have flown by today & none have landed on house, just pausing on neighboring branches. So quiet, will take a while to adjust to their absence. Last year they left on the 5th of August. Every year they leave earlier.

I am in central Indiana and the last day or two I have noticed a lot of mine have taken off to head south. I would assume it's just that time of year for you.
