   <br/>&#62; &#62; I think in industrial Cape Breton, particularly the Syd=
neys, New
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Waterford, Glace Bay (which is where I live), you MIGHT=
 think they have
   <br/>&#62; &#62; declined, but if you go out to &#39;the country&#39;, y=
ou&#39;ll still find the Gray
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Jays there...places like Homeville, South Head, etc. I =
can&#39;t speak on
   <br/>&#62; &#62; their numbers though. They may be gone down too. BevGla=

   <br/>&#62; &#62; Always had 4or5 + around my place. Also see a lot while=
 driving. So no

   <br/>&#62; &#62; It=E2=80=99s interesting how gray jays still seem to be=
 common up Cape Breton
   <br/>&#62; &#62; way. I have been back home in Yarmouth in the winters n=
ow for over
   <br/>&#62; &#62; ten years, and they became unusual some time before tha=
t. Do you
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Cape Bretoners find they are declining?

   <br/>&#62; &#62; I&#39;ve had a hairy woodpecker here since early Dec. I=
t&#39;s here
   <br/>&#62; &#62; everyday. Lots of American goldfinch, juncos, chickadee=
s, blue jays
   <br/>&#62; &#62; and gray jays. Oh, and a ruffed grouse in one of my whi=
te birch,
   <br/>&#62; &#62; most mornings.

   <br/>&#62; &#62; Indeed in the last week traffic was down considerably. =
With the
   <br/>&#62; &#62; snow last night I see it picking up today though.

   <br/>&#62; &#62; I wonder if anybody else is experiencing a shortage of
   <br/>&#62; &#62; birds , especially woodpeckers at feeders recently??
   <br/>&#62; &#62;
   <br/>&#62; &#62;
   <br/>&#62; &#62; Last winter I was going through bird pies at least one
   <br/>&#62; &#62; every day. Woodpeckers, hairy, downy , and pileated wer=
e
   <br/>&#62; &#62; very frequent and the sunflower seed was getting a lot =
of
   <br/>&#62; &#62; attention. . By contrast currently I am rarely seeing
   <br/>&#62; &#62; anything. Maybe that ice storm we had is to blame?
