I have just recently noticed that when my daughter and I are walking around at night, we are not seeing as many fireflies...I wonder if the male fireflies have not been working out, and the females are keeping mum? Counting fireflies is going to be a fun project to do with my daughter this summer! I do have two questions: I read somewhere about a shortage of bees. Not that I really mind that there are not as many bees buzzing around my food at the park or pool, but is there a shortage? I live in the city, so my bird watching primarily is that of the french bird pyjohn, or more commonly known by their street name PIGEON. Why do we never see baby pigeons? Look forward to knowing the answers! Ame Very interesting comments about the fireflies.
