I spent much of the morning outside getting things under shelter. It was very quiet - very few bird calls where normally the woods are atwitter with blue jay, chickadee, nuthatch and chipping sparrow calls. I got the funiture and cathouse off the deck, no birds were scared from the feeders. For the last 45 minutes, I have been in the kitchen cleaning birdie's cage and watering plants. I can see the bird feedrs and I've only seen 1 female hummingbird and 2 goldfinches. It also occurs to me that I've neither seen nor heard any chipmunks or squirrels.
Guess they are busy battening down the hatches too.
Whoo-boy! Between you and the critters, you'll be ready.

Where do the birds go when they know a storm is coming in? Do they head for the evergreens or do they take a short trip out of town?

I don't know where they go. I would assume they find a sheltered spot in the trees.
