Other song birds are scarce, also, but the Eastern Bluebird has been in decline for many years -- this is in spite of efforts to bring them back. Nests were built along I-49 as one way to attract the birds. I have never seen any results.
The Bluebird was common in meadows and near wooded areas when I was a child on the farm. One time a pair of Bluebirds built their nest in our mail box. You can see that we seldom got mail. When we discovered the nest it had four beautiful eggs. Although we tried not to disturb it, just the fact that a human hand had touched the eggs caused the birds to abandon their nest.
Now to see a Bluebird I resort to bird calendars sent out by organizations seeking donations.
