I haven’t seen a decline in insects and the spray plane flies right over the house, as for birds there’s a good possibility the bird flu has killed them.

I wish all the ticks and biting flies would cease to exist!

The way I see it is that these small insect die first because the accumulation of the heavy metals is a high concentration in relation to their body weight. Now we are seeing tons of birds die, little heavier takes longer, very ominous for our collective future as a whole in America.


And what’s with that comment Bruce T, are you insinuating something’s wrong with southern Maine? Everyone likes the idea of the great woods north but in reality it’s mostly private owned lumber companies (pretty sure Irvine is biggest landowner) that clear cut huge swathes every year. the state also sprays 10000s upon 10000s of gallons of round up from planes, so that’s always nice . Plus Houlton and north is nasty big ag country with contaminated soil from all the chemicals they use to grow their mono crops.. but go on with your condescending tone.

Most all “good”species seem to be in decline, some far worse then others. Both birds and bugs, which is really an ominous sign for what’s to come. I don’t believe it’s caused by any one thing but multiple problems from sprays to habitat.
Thing is most of these critters are the bottom of the food chain, eventually it will filter up to the top.

I think this is exactly right. Multiple factors are causing declines, I would estimate locally the Red Winged Black Birds and Barn Swallow populations are 5% of what they were 20 years ago, Same swamps, same barns, same basic habitat, something is dramatically wrong.

Bob Iowa they lost certainly spray glysophate all over northern maine, which is the active ingredient in round up

Dragon flies here get very thick myself and my hay haulers were in a swarm last summer, as far as round up or any glyphosate there's no aerial application label so it can't be applied by air.

But I’ll believe in man made climate change or flat earth before I believe that contrails are Chemtrails

A lot of folks that believe in chemtrails also happen to be flat-earthers. Go figure, LOL
