I have noticed it here as well, even the winnowing of Snipe seems to be =
down. I used to be able to stand on my doorstep and hear them every =
evening, this year I have heard here them just twice. My Tree Swallows =
are still coming and going occasionally but they should have hatched by =
now and I see no indications of this.

Lance, I agree that there has been a notable decline in bird song at =
least in Lunenburg Co. Comparing this year's song to the five years of =
almost daily atlassing shows a significant fall-off.

During the NS Migration Count and through much of May there seemed to be =
much more song, but that disappeared in June. There are still common =
breeders such as Blue-headed Vireos, Yellow Warblers, Parulas, Hermit =
Thrushes, Alder Flycatchers, etc.but mostly absent are Black & White, =
Water Thrushes, Black-throated Greens, Ruby-crowns, Winter Wrens, for =
example, which were plentiful in May. The cold and wet spring may be =
partially responsible, for instance two pairs of Tree Swallows which had =
been bringing nesting material eventually deserted during the cold and =
wet period, the first time this has happened in many years of nesting. =
And the dawn chorus is indeed practically non-existent.

It's all very disturbing.
