Actually, the map looks a lot worse for western Nebraska and Kansas, and all
of South Dakota, compared with us...even eastern Colorado.
Reminds me of the Mormon crops being saved, prompting the Beach Boys to
write, "Wish they all could be California gulls." (Apologies to Joe Roller,
who will probably add to this).
Also - what would be the effect of wet vs dry Spring/Summer on the
grasshopper population?

Sort of bird related (food source) ... Channel 9 News had story on
upcoming grasshopper outbreak predicted worst in 30 years--good news
for Swainson's Hawks and Loggerhead Shrikes (and others).
