Yes, there is something in those plastic tree tubes.  Two years ago during
an hour walk I freed an Eastern Bluebird, a Song Sparrow, and a Carolina
Wren from those things.  The Wren got my attention first as it desperately
tried get out of the tube.  Checking twenty other tubes, I found two dead
Bluebirds, and another bird that I could not id.
