Article: Posted on Wed, Mar. 24, 2004 Neighborhood worry about the birds By Leigh Weimers Mercury News San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood has been a little too quiet lately for Rob Moore's liking. ``The area around Hamilton Avenue and Hicks Road seems almost absolutely devoid of birds,'' Moore reports. ``On my walks I've seen only one lonely mockingbird. One robin. One hummingbird. It's like a `Silent Spring.' What's going on?'' Susan Bell of the Audubon Society of Silicon Valley doesn't know. ``We've heard of nothing catastrophic in that area,'' she says, ``but the recent warm weather has been unusual. It may be that birds have started nesting earlier than usual and thus aren't as visible.'' So Moore shouldn't be alarmed? ``It's good that he's being aware,'' Bell notes. ``I'd urge him -- and everyone else who's interested -- to keep watching and reporting.'' So let her -- and me -- know. Willow Glen is too popular an area for people to say it's for the birds. But if there are more signs of it going birdless, we'd like to know. -Chris Help other people. Help the earth.
