The animals always know before we do that something bad is going to happen. August 13th is quickly approaching and the wild animals are preparing.

last year I had literal swarms at my feeders, from late May through the summer. I'm in southern New England.

Of course my Trumpy Bear neighbor says 5G killed them all....

I’ve noticed a steep decline in the number of birds, in general, over the past two years. 😥

However, we’ve noticed a lot more honey bees and bumble bees too!
