Where have the chickadees gone?

Temps H 50 deg. Well it's back to cool weather. I wonder if the birds have changed their mind about nesting so early. I really need to take all the bird boxes down and clean them out. One bird that hasn't been seen around here for several years is the Chickadee. There used to be a lot of trees growing wild here in the neighborhood until the new owner of the rent houses had much of them cut down or pruned. Also, we had that ice storm and killed a lot of trees. So there was a definite loss of habitat. The west Nile virus had also taken it's toll. Sure do miss the chickadees.

UPDATE:  as of 2015 there have not been any chickadees spotted yet.  Sure do miss them.
