Birds Absent

We spent the weekend visiting friends in Columbus, OH. Before I left, I filled three feeders with BOSS, one with Thistle, and made sure the sugar water was fresh. Usually if I go away for 24-hours, the feeders would be emptied. Not a one this time. Saw lots of feathers on the ground, so I wonder if the Coopers Hawk was prowling around and disturbing them?

The male Robin did notice that I had returned and quickly flew down for a few raisins. A male RTHummer was buzzing around the sugar water (I have only seen females until just last week.) And a few House Finches and Cardinals came around for seed. Other than that, VERY quiet at the feeders.
