Studies show that insectivores numbers have fallen in recent years by as much as 40% in many areas of the U.S. and Canada.

Evenings gone by, dusk of summer, Song of Whip-Poor-Will mating quest, Quavering, fades to bare murmur, Falling echoes of love’s trill-fest. Now we try for evening screenings In warmth of summer stillness, List' to woodland's dusky gleanings --- Only echoes of Whip-Poor-Willness. © 2009 R. Leland Waldrip

The over-tone of sadness at such a loss is evident through your words of what is now dwindling...

Be always safe,
