I am seventy and tell my kids about when growing up in Illinois 30 miles south of Chicago, how many monarchs we saw as a kid. Dozens a day sometimes. And that when a flock of birds took off from a field, they filled the sky. Hundreds if not a thousand birds in a flock. And at night there were hundreds of lightning bugs everywhere. Not to mention that when we slept out in the summer, we could see the Milky Way most nights. They think I am kidding them.
