yes, I read this. :-( I am afraid there will be more. I am surprised the birds have done as well as they have for as long...and that there aren't thousands upon thousands dying, not that I want to fuel this vision.
We (in a relatively short time)have seriously damaged this planet. First the bees, then the birds.
I wonder if/when we (I mean the whole we) will get it:
"the birds and the bees" literally means our survival.
