Where have the birds gone?????

I have been photographing birds and flying insects for the last ten years. Being very aware of their numbers, I am sorry to say the the decline of both has been alarming. This year, in particular, has been very bad. We had NO Robin migration, very few Warblers, woodpeckers are now rare, and birds of prey are seldom seen. I used to hear Owls, but not now. More trees are sick and dying than should be as well.
All of this is occurring as the geoengineering in the sky has accelerated: It is now a daily occurance in our area (Dallas-Ft. Worth). The major culprit is definitely Aluminum particles which is 30% of aerosols that are sprayed by aircraft flying at the top of the troposphere.
I invite all who read this to google "What in the World Are They Spraying". This 1:37:00 minute video does a good job explaining much more than the simple loss of birds.

It's very sad about the decline of a lot of species. The thing that gets me, is that so many people just don't care.

I have plenty of birds if you want some.
Maybe they don't like something about your area.
One thing that has been happening and seen in our are is a sharp rise in raptors.
Being protected has resulted in their populations growing.
Guess what they eat?

I just returned from Bosque del Apache national wildlife refuge. When I went several years back there were tons of birds, they were everywhere. This time, there were very few birds. Only one group of Snow Geese came in and there were more photographers shooting them than there were birds. Lucky for me, I went to photograph the Sandhill Cranes and that was just about the only bird there so I got some nice shots. No egrets, only one heron. People were talking about it. Some said it was the wildlife management and the decisions they were making. But I think the birds have changed their flight path and/or they are diminishing in numbers. Don't go to Bosque thinking you'll find a lot of birds.

The only difference between your area and mine is about 5 million people.

We have a substantially reduced bird quantity but we have a significant number of red tail & red shoulder hawks that have staked out the mature oaks in our neighborhood. A lot of doves have unwittingly entered the food chain. I just wish the hawks would choose squirrels.

The last few years have seen hotter summers and wetter winters. It could be that birds have adapted their range a little bit. Most insect species (Bird food) are very good barometers of local temperature ranges...being mobile they do move out of an area that doesn't suit them. When they plant lots of rapeseed in our area the yellow fields create air turbulence and actually reduce local rainfall. So we get the tiny beetles that love rapeseed but a lot less bees,butterflies and wasps. They just bugger off for greener pastures.
Aircraft and Aluminum spray?......sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.
Have fun

No link intended: maybe someone can type in "what in the world are they spraying" for you.

The opinion out there is that hot climates will suffer tremendously because of the sheer heat k*****g everything in the food chain. But there will still be migrations, just not to hot climates. The really serious situation are at the polar extremes and high altitudes, where there is no way for animal and plant life to find more hospitable situations.
There was a study in 2016 that has since been retracted that discusses what you are writing about - and it has little to do with aircraft and may have more to do with coal fly ash.

I think the solution may be a regime change, but then this thread really belongs in the attic.

LOL you got that one right - "the contrail conspiracy" Here's a link since the original poster didn't. I personally know 3 people who still think the earth is flat too...

I live in northern Minnesota and we have more birds now than I remember as a kid. Morning doves that I never heard as a kid (50 years ago) are common now, hawks, eagles, owls, sandhill cranes, swans as well as the common little birds like robins and chickadees.

My area is right between Chitcago and Milwaukee tho I fail to see the population having any correlation here. Geoenginieering is a common sight up here too!
