Vermont is famous for its natural and mesmerizing landscape that includes a big forest. Unfortunately, a recent report has revealed the decrement of the bird population there. ABC News reported a sharp decline of 14.2 percent in the bird population over the last 25 years in the Vermont forest. The latest study has unveiled this crucial fact. Several rare and common bird species exist in the said forest. Among them, some species solely depend on the flying insects and they form a major portion of the bird population. The Eastern phoebe (Sayornis phoebe), the chimney swift (Chaetura pelagica), the tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) and others mainly belong to that species that depend on the flying insects. A survey, conducted from 1989 to 2013, has uncovered the 25 percent decrement of the blue jay bird. The number of these birds is gradually dropping. In a word, the real species of the bird population in the Vermont forest are losing the foothold.
