You don’t even have to go off in the woods! Used to have tree frogs on the porch, catching a free lunch off the bugs coming to the porch light. Now I rarely spray off the lights and there are zero tree frogs.
Used to see Indigo snakes in the bushes now and again. Found a foot-long baby last year, that’s it.
And as to the woods, tromped around our 2.5 acres of swamp this afternoon, way in the boonies. Saw 4 squirrels, that’s it. Not another animal, of any sort, not even much evidence of animals. OK, there’s something tiny popping around under the water, no clue, can’t ever see them.
