I returned from a trip today -- Monday -- and was not at home during the preventative spraying for the West Nile virus last week. My yard, normally filled with all sorts of birds, is eerily empty of them today. Only a lone hummingbird has been by to visit. Has anyone else experienced this effect?

Not here at least I think. I looked up the insecticide and dosing used (pyrethrin ultra low volume spray) and it seems reasonable. West Nile can be quite nasty, especially in areas where it has arrived relatively recently, so I hope these limited applications can knock it back.
