It=E2=80=99s good to hear you heard toads trilling. Used to be a common =

Porcupines? Come to think of it, I think I=E2=80=99m seeing fewer road =

Good examples of the values of anecdotes! In general, scientists need =
to consider how to put them to use. More often than not, they =
don=E2=80=99t prove a lot (except for some yes/no questions), but they =
can disprove hypotheses and raise questions of varying importance. So I =
always encourage scientists to dismiss anecdotes with great caution. =20

Hi All=20
Last evening I was in Keji listening=20
to the toads thrilling as I fished. First=20
time this year for me. It was a lovely warm=20
June evening. A real jewel standing near a water falls.=20
The toads and the rushing water go well together.=20
About 9:30 I came home - 1.5 hrs drive=20
for me - less for some folks.=20
On the way not a porcupine in sight.=20
Always used to see them and they were a hazard.=20
Has anyone else noted a shortage of them this year?=20
Probably not something that generates a lot of stats.=20
Only saw 2 raccoons - a low number.=20
Enjoy June=20
Paul=20
