Is it possible I&#8217;m seeing fewer birds because they&#8217;re finding food more easily? I haven&#8217;t seen that many birds eating cicadas, but others have.<\/p>\n<p>It seems odd to see Trumpeter Swans at a beach, but they&#8217;ve been seen there several times in the past couple of months. They were very cooperative and ate a lot of cicadas.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, Bluebirds and Ospreys dominated. The water is still high at CBEC, so I haven&#8217;t crossed the bridge much. I&#8217;m keeping an eye on the Ebird reports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=45500\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-45500\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"
