I recently met Desirée Narango, a Conservation Scientist at the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, who studies relationships between birds, insects, and plants in yards and gardens.

Not just rare species, but common backyard birds too, due to habitat loss as well as declines in a major food source: insects. From Desirée:
