In my hemisphere we have passed the mark of the vernal equinox and now it is “officially spring”.

0024: Songs of Migration, for the Birds, for the Insects, for the Planet
World Migratory Bird Day is twice a year, in the spring and fall. The next one is October 12th, 2024 and the key message is PROTECT INSECTS, PROTECT BIRDS. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, insects are the most diverse group of organism on the planet, they’re integral to our nutritional systems, their populations appear to be declining significantly around the world and they are especially important to the survival of birds, particularly during migration periods. So this episode is “For the Birds” [and “For the Insects”].
Poem “Respect for Cockroaches” by Laura Chamberlain Dedelow, 2006
