Juncos beginning to disappear

This is a photo of a slate coloured junco at the feeder taken a week or so ago. The last few days I have seen none. There may still be some around but they are not here in any large numbers as they were earlier. The weather is getting quite a bit colder and there is even a few snowflakes being blown around by a strong wind today.
If it weren't for house sparrows and chickadees the feeder would be completely vacant. The sparrows sometimes come in large groups but the chickadees are always alone or at most with one or two others.
