Hi Jane! Interesting discussion going on here, I've been reading some of your more recent posts. When was the last time you saw a flock of a million or so of those little birds? I used to see them every year when I was a kid living outside of Rochester near lake Ontario. Were they Starlings or something similar? The flocks I see here in Tennessee are much smaller, not anything like those days. I think you're right that even the birds, frogs, insects are being lost. I used to see thousands of baby toads come out of the pond when it dried up in the summer in the woods behind my house. It was a huge chorus of sounds of frogs and insects at night. I haven't heard that in a long time. I did count around 6-7 robins in my back yard last week and farther back I saw a whole bunch, maybe 20 or so fly by. I thought that was strange because I can't remember ever seeing that many robins bunched up. I see blue birds and cardinals fairly often. But I am just a few miles from a major national park. We have black bears, wolves, bob cats and maybe an elusive mountain lion or two. Wild boar, deer and I've followed wild turkey back in the woods in the last year. I'm fortunate. This may be one of the few places left where they can thrive, or should I say just survive. Have a good evening, Bob
