Mr. Sorchych,
In response to your article “Where did they go and why.”
Living here for 18 yrs on Stagecoach Pass Rd. across from the preserve my wife and I are keen observers of the Sonoran environment and there is one huge thing worth noting. MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THE INSECTS ARE GONE !
We used to see all kinds of insects, flies, crickets, spiders (especially wolf spiders), scorpions, tarantulas etc. even the ants have all but disappeared.
As far as bird life is concerned we have our own inhabitants but only because we feed them copious amounts of food. Where have all the Doves gone? We used to see huge flocks all the time, now they are non-existent and seldom do we see even two or three flying together.
Your article simply did not answer your title’s question. I do have the answer, however.
All you have to do is look skyward at the long 100 mile long white lines in the sky and realize what those “lines” are all about. Most think they are harmless contrails (ice crystals) but in fact they are chemical desiccants which are part of the Geo Engineering being done all over the world. The desiccant chemicals consist of many very harmful and toxic materials some of which are Radioactive Barium, Strontium, Aluminum, Magnesium etc. This, so called, geo-engineering is nothing more than weather control. Take a look at the grey soot, left on your patio, walkway and/or car. This material is from the spraying and is very highly toxic.
History has proved that Phoenix averages over 300 days of bright sunshine per yr. A better title for your article would have been “What happened to all our sunshine?”
I contend that the birds have either left the area or have died off for two reasons:
1) a decimated insect population, 2) highly toxic air and environment.
Why is it that many days will start off sunny and bright then you see the lines in the sky (spraying) and the sky turns overcast in the afternoon? These desiccants are meant to dry the atmosphere and prevent weather fronts from delivering rain. Why do you think we are in a prolonged drought in spite of the rain we had thus far this year? The desiccants they are spraying, as you will notice by observing, will spread out into an overcast sky.
Look at the distant mountains and notice that they are always hazy from the spraying residue. I believe this is the answer to your bird disappearance question Don.
Please do the following test to see what I mean:
At night, go to a very dark area of your yard and bring a flashlight with you. Hold the flashlight at chest level pointed skyward about 2 ft. from your body and look into the beam of light up to about 1 ft. above the lense. You will see, what I call, a Minnie snow storm of these nano particles floating in the air which are aerosols emissions from the desiccant spray. Once you do this it should all make perfect sense what is making our wonderful wildlife die or disappear.
I would be happy to entertain the idea of writing a piece in your opinion section.
Thank you very much,
