[cobirds] Re: A last hurrah for the Denver metro area?

We've noticed a diminished number of visits to the feeder from the tanagers but we're still seeing them quite frequently.  Just a bit ago we had 2 males and 2 females.  We've also been visited by a male and female black-headed grosbeak this last week, and saw the female today.  What a week!  But now it's time the tanagers get moving.  I hope they remember us this fall.  We're also seeing much less activity in the yard from the broad-tailed hummingbirds.

Last night, I came home to my west Centennial (Arapahoe) yard to find a half dozen tanagers continuing. With them, as new arrivals, was a trio of immature Black-headed Grosbeaks (two males, one female). Later, a Warbling Vireo came through. An Olive-sided Flycatcher, which I'd earlier seen a few houses away, visited too. 

This morning -- nothing. This afternoon -- nothing. (Even the singing, male Yellow Warbler appears gone.) I'm sure if I traversed the High Line Canal Trail, I might find some stragglers. But for the last week or two or more, my yard's been full. Now, the place is filled with only absences. 

 

Are others in the Denver metro area noting the same thing--empty spaces where the birds were yesterday or the day before? Or is it just my yard?
