Depending on where you live, they might have migrated already. Still there are always some that live year round, is the seed still being eaten? Contact your local bird watching groups and see what they say. Also your Ag center might have some insight.
Mine too. Pesticides?
They will probably be back again next year........
Havr you sprayed any pesticides on your yard or flowers or garden ? If so, this will keep the birds away. They eat bugs and if bugs are poisoned it kills the birds too.
Have you seen a hawk or other preditors in your yard? We had a family of hawks and our birds just disappeared. After the hawks left, the birds came back to the feeder and bird bath. Even if a neighbor has a loose cat, the birds will shy away.
