Leslie, no=one more knowledgeable answered, so ,as a fellow desert gardener,
I'll give you my best idea. Right at the break of dawn, (and other times
during the day, also), little chi-chi- birds (that is what I call all little
birds I don't bother to identify) come down and eat grass seed, seed from
weeds, and if the seeds aren't well protected, they will eat your garden
seed. I think you would see ant activity if it was enough activity to get
every seed, but that is just a guess.............

Do they "steal" small seeds?
I planted in started TP & a few in peat cups.
Everything that was a small seed didn't come up. Larger seeds about 80% sprouted.
I found an ant tunnel underneath on of the trays of seeds
in the cold frame, so wondering if they steal small
seeds....
