I mourn the loss of habitat every
time I see a subdivision sprout where a farm field used to be or a woods come
down for a big box store.
That said, I also am amazed at
what wildlife can do with the scraps of habitat we’ve left them.
Folk singer Greg Brown wrote a
song that asks: “Where do the wild geese go when they go away?” Putting aside
that there are so many geese now that they never really go away, the lyric
expresses my wonder about where all of this wildlife is when I’m not watching
them.
