CONCORD — Early returns from New Hampshire Audubon’s annual Backyard Winter Bird Survey point to fewer birds at feeders this winter. Why? It turns out the answer is not simple.

According to Dr. Pamela Hunt of N.H. Audubon, “There are many factors that influence the number of birds a person might see at their feeders during the winter, and most of them are not indicative of long-term population trends.”
