Wildlife Observed
The entire vibe has changed in our backyard! We have always fed birds, and have extensive gardens, but this year we had 17 different warblers move through and daily wildlife activity has increased extensively. As for pollinators, there are some, but a noticeable overall decline in honeybees and bumbles, some but not many at all. We keep honeybees, and struggle to keep hives alive, our single installed colony has since died this year. (we used to be commercial keepers, this is common, and probably due to environmental pressures such as climate change and contamination).
