You sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole trying
to confirm the decline in birds specific to my area.
Alas, I couldn't find it in a reasonable time
but the general
decline in North American birds [science.org] is well documented.
You also reminded me of something else. It used
to be common for trees and even the sides of houses
to be menaced by hornets that built the classic egg-shaped
nest. I think the last time I saw one was in the woods, in the 1990s.
Kids are going to see those in cartoons and think they're made-up.
