[nightshade]

I have always been aware of insects, birds, amphibians, fish, birds and mammals
because there were more of them than people when I was a child,there was no TV
you spoke to people that worked the land you learned to find animals and hunted them
for food, you fished, generally you had more to do with wildlife on an everyday basis than is possible today
The decline of the sparrow really brought it home to me so sparrows, bats, bumblebees, love em all
