The Cat may be gone, but a boat will return, maybe with a more enlightened
government or two.

John, maybe all your lost species went the way of the Cat! :-)

Hmm. I'm speaking from Yarmouth, but Canada Jays, Evening grosbeaks, and
Boreal chickadees are now rare in the winter. Purple finches are no longer
common. The warbler and swallow population ain't what they used to was.
(The only swallows I've seen in recent years have been tree swallows. Barn
swallows used to be abundant and cliff and bank swallows were unremarkable)
I do less rooting now, but also see fewer snakes, red-backed salamanders,
leopard, pickerel, and wood frogs. Ctenucha moths are scarce in recent
years, as is a large, purplish ground beetle. I'm sure other species are
also scarcer. Hmm .
On the plus side, cardinals and turkey vultures are common now, down here in
the banana belt, and were virtually unheard-of thirty years ago.
