Speaking of frogs...
#30
Aren't amphibians sometimes called the canary in the coal mine? Interestingly enough, I have noticed a distinct lessening of the coqui noises for the past few nights, since we had an extremely voggy day up here in Mountain View....maybe their little lungs exploded from the vog? (Sorry, that was sick....) I don't mind the coqui noises myself, and yes, I think that if the coqui reduces the humanoid population on this island (due to media fear-mongering and the resultant impact on real estate sales), that is not so bad. I do believe the coqui may impact native insect and therefore native bird populations, but as others have pointed out, the world is still evolving, making changes, and some of those are pretty much beyond our control. I am not sure how we can eradicate the coqui from the Big Island at this point in time, especially without possibly creating even more problems (spraying lime is *good* for living creatures???). I think we are witnessing Life In Progress, and unfortunately, or fortunately, we have no control over how the story ends here. I do love the concept of coqui pate, tho...
