Not so much these last few years WAY DOWN this past spring. Enough so that I am concerned about pollination of my fruit trees and garden nest spring. And this is the Western UP so there is no agricultural spraying or urban encroachment or habitat destruction. I have no idea what's going on. ---ken coyoteken48https://www.blogger.com/profile/06182514695395380561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-70356508571427599732020-10-23T13:27:00.916-04:002020-10-23T13:27:00.916-04:00Someone told me one time that if a bug hits a wind...Someone told me one time that if a bug hits a windshield when the vehicle is traveling less than 35 mph, then they just bounce off...over 35...splat.Mike Guentherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760305520055214986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-50754788233007946672020-10-23T12:34:15.363-04:002020-10-23T12:34:15.363-04:00Concur on the 'coddling' of Biden.

Re the bugs, they are down, no question, but the ##%%$@! hydrophobic grasshoppers out here are getting bigger! And no WW fluid I've found will get them off. Plus, they seem to be 'aiming' for one's face, so they splat right in the middle of your sight line.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-47343042498177046682020-10-23T11:48:11.715-04:002020-10-23T11:48:11.715-04:00Used to be driving in California's central val...Used to be driving in California's central valley meant cleaning your windshield off regularly. Last trip I only had to run the wipers twice. There have been a lot of developments built out there, but even in the house-free zone there has been a huge reduction. <br /><br />There also has been a reduction in raptors from the multi-acre windfarms along the flyways chopping them up. They used to rest or even hang out and breed in our valley, but now they are a very rare sight. Rodent populations are completely out of control. Now you have me wondering if the small bird population is down because of lack of food, or is the bug population down because small bird counts are up?KHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10855508588415026049noreply@blogger.com
