 | | It is likely then, that our “Most Wanted” might also benefit from the efforts of nest-box monitors, if we focus our attention and attract them to suitably placed nest boxes. |
 | | Interestingly, the Western Bluebird and the Carolina Chickadee are listed as having significant declines by the BBS, but don’t make our “Most Wanted List”, because they show 4.5% and 2.4% of all reported TBN nesting attempts, respectively. |
 | | But, if in fact, “TBN’s Most Wanted” are truly experiencing population declines, then as nest-box monitors and environmental stewards, we should take special notice of them and promote a conservation agenda. |
