Has any else noticed fewer Eastern Bluebirds this spring?
I have monitored a trail of 20-24 houses for the past nine years. Total
fledglings have ranged from 37 to 84 per year. Unless something changes soon
this promises to be the poorest year yet. The problem seems to be fewer
adults available for nesting.
