Where's the Food???!!!!
A mystery disease is sickening and killing songbirds in Pennsylvania and many nearby states. Researchers aren't sure what is causing the disease or if it contagious, so people are asked to empty their bird feeders and birdbaths and throughly sterilize and disinfect them. I haven't seen any sick birds around our house, but until it is safe to continue feeding the birds my feeders and baths will remain empty. I feel bad for my regular feeder visitors, like this fledging tufted titmouse, who came to an empty suet feeder. This little bird definitely was not happy. Taken through a (somewhat dirty) window. Backyard bird.
