Index of Subjects Oh fireflies bring back so many memories. Last year as well as a couple years previously, about this time of the summer, I was watching to see what birds were muttering in the apple trees behind the house here in White Point, Queens. The evenings were humid without a doubt, probably wispy fog, and our lights were out and time wise, probably about 9 pm.. I was very pleased to see 'lightening bugs' flitting about. At first I thought I was seeing things but stayed quiet and eventually saw there were several maybe as many as 6. Are birds harvesting them? I am thinking that now we have that awful bright yard light next door lighting up our property, I suppose we won't be seeing any again, but I will keep checking. There are usually some up along the brooks that run under the rail bed out behind Port Mouton. They are on our search list for different seasons.

Sixty years ago in Bear River we had hundreds, if not thousands of them on the marshes at the head of the tide. Those same marshes were full of peepers, and you could hear them from far away. I have often wished I could go back to that country early in the spring and see if any where still there - I doubt they would be that plentiful now. Roland.
