Birds vanishing in this neck of woods as well
I am answering Maxine Garner's letter that was published Dec. 28. I too live near Liberty and feed the birds. My husband and I have noticed the decline in birds and squirrels.
We used to go through 50 pounds of bird seed a month. Now we hardly use 10 pounds of bird seed. We had so many yellow finches, they were fighting over the thistle feeder. The cardinals were everywhere. The thistle seed feeder has not needed filling in more than a month. I remember going uptown and seeing squirrels all over Liberty and slamming on my brakes to keep from hitting them. Now, when I go uptown I hardly see any squirrels. Occasionally one will be sitting in a yard.
I am with Maxine: Where have all the birds and squirrels gone in Liberty?

I think all the squirrels have moved to Guilford County. We still have a yard full. They have had lots of acorns this year. Birds are also everywhere. We don't need a rooster to wake us; the birds tell when daylight has arrived. I am sorry you have lost your birds. They are a daily reminder that life is good.
