I had the same observation about lack of birds. In the spring we had a lot of mockingbirds which are nice to listen to. However, as the summer progressed, they stopped their singing, which probably makes sense as the mating season winds down.
I hope the construction is the reason for the lack of birds and that at some point they come back. However, birds tends to like areas with heavy cover and the way the houses are built so close together here and the way people landscape their yards, there isn't much natural cover for the birds to hide in.
