Walking to work here in the Willamette Valley requires looking down at the sidewalk to avoid all the worms! Of course, I’d rather be looking at the daffodils, tulips, forsythia and blooming trees. :)
@syz: Indeed. MY sister has spent countless hours hatching and raising g/h chicks in her basement…..feed, heat lamps, water.
Then one by one, they have been picked off by the local (4-legged) predators. The last one, a truly dumb bulb, died, I would guess, of loneliness. And the racket it made.
And I have seen them -post car accident – dying by the side of the road.
