I was walking in the woods up at the overlook at Taughanock this afternoon when a large hawk flew through the trees. As I was trying to get a better view of his disappearing silhouette I noticed the immediate chorus of chipmunks all around. The typical "clucking" sound that they make to alert to

Meena. It is not neonictinoids that are implicated in decline in monarchs. It is glyphosates as applied to round up ready crops, wholesale and broadly, with no regard to elimination of important field plants. In particular milkweed. Linda Sent from my iPhone On Aug 18, 2014, at 4:03 PM, Meen
