Population of crows has plummeted here. Many bird species are seemingly in population free fall, barn swallows, red wing black birds, hawks.

Not many crows around here for a few years now. Use to see endless flocks of them in years past and hear them all day. Thats exactly what Im experiencing.

I haven't seen any crows here yet either. We usually have a small rookery of 5 to 8 nests on the back of my property. The number has been going down the last few years. There's been as many as 40 crows in that murder. The nests are in very thorny honey locust trees. I like crows and will no longer shoot them.
Keith Im going to do a 20 mile loop some day this week with the sole purpose of doing bird inventory.

I mentioned a change 3 years ago on here. They said I was a bird brain lol.
One, that jumps out. Carolina Wrens instead of House Wrens.
Woodpeckers seem fine, Jays and Cards too.
If a cycle it is a 30 or more yr cycle.

Keith Im going to do a 20 mile loop some day this week with the sole purpose of doing bird inventory. I did this last year. It used to be common for powerlines to be heavy with barn swallows, I remember thousands of birds on the spans. I drove an 80 mile loop last summer and counted 12 birds.
