Why So Few Bird Blogs?

Ever since I started this blog back on 02/28/02, I've puzzled over why there are so few bird blogs. With the popularity of birding, you'd think more birders would have picked up on the blogging phenomenon. There are plenty of excellent Web pages on birds and birding, and a host of bird listservs. Why the dearth of bird blogs? I don't have a clue.

Here's a list of the few bird blogs that have come to my attention:
