Birds, Bees, and Butterflies

[StarryNite]

We live in the north valley and although they are waning, this year we have had a bumper crop of butterflies. I particularly love the black ones. A lot of bees this year too. Now we have to be on the lookout for Africanized bees as well as mosquitoes due to the increase in the West Nile Virus. As if Covid isn't enough. Oh, yeah, Valley Fever too. On top of that has anybody noticed more dead birds than usual? We had three dead doves in our yard within three days. What's with that? Are they eating seeds tainted with Glyphosate or Paraquat?
