That may be one reason for their bad press. Also the fact that for a few weeks in winter they gather in large flocks which really can cause problems.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-81684970244965332302020-05-09T09:51:06.238-05:002020-05-09T09:51:06.238-05:00It would be indeed terrible if we learned nothing ...It would be indeed terrible if we learned nothing from this pandemic experience. I get the feeling at times that Nature is desperately trying to send us a final warning.

I hope you continue to do this forever! When I contemplate the positive impact that the Coronavirus has brought to nature, I hope in a way that it continues to cause us to modify our behaviour for a while yet. Perhaps, even as dumb humans without a great track record of learning from history, we can pay attention this time.David M.
