Flowering Avocado

My Avocado has lots of flowers buds and its dropping a lot of them, which I know is normal. Its the first year flowering. I notice that it's dropping a lot of leaves as well. Is that normal?

I know it drops leaves during the regular season when it was not flowering. I would say it lost about 20% or more of it's leaves. Back in February, it has tons of leaves and very dense. Now it doesn't look that same. I fertilized it back in beginning of February, it has rained a few times in the past couple of months and the soil retains the moist for a long time, so I know its not a water issue. It hasn't dropped into the 30s since the beginning of the month. The temperature has been in the 60s and 70s for the past 2 weeks.

Thanks
Sal
