I’m happiest outside, listening to the birds while I dig in the dirt. The loss of three billion (3,000,000,000!!!) birds in the last half century has me incredibly concerned, and I’ve been researching conservation efforts that have worked. These days, I’m working hard to plant natives, to try to provide a habitat for birds and insects.
