For the last several years, I have had 3 pairs of Gold Finches using my feeder year-round.  Suddenly, I am not seeing any of them at all (and the feed is not disappearing as fast as normal).  I don't remember that happening in the previous years.  Their disappearance coincides with a pair of Crows using my bird baths to soak dead nestlings (and eggs) on a multiple time per day basis.  I am hoping that the Crows have not run-off or killed the Gold Finches.

Does anyone on the list have any insights/experience with this sort of thing?
