And yet as my friend Keith Russell from Pennsylvania Audubon says they were plentiful in the Wissahickon in the 19th century and actually bred there.<br /><br />How things change. It would be nice to see them make a comeback here. We've never found them plentiful in our travels but have often been places where you could usually find them if you looked. The midwest seems particularly like that.Ken Januskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984782169460110520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618025896103645633.post-1474779393168311522011-10-10T17:06:44.486-04:002011-10-10T17:06:44.486-04:00Nice find!

Then we went to a national wildlife refuge in Iowa and it seemed like they were on every tree.Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086855019663714453noreply@blogger.com
