Re: birds and other critters

The operative issue is - what kinds of birds and wildlife is he talking about in Chicago? Pigeons, starlings, squirrels? There are species that can and will adapt to almost any conditions. Much of the wildlife in arid areas come out only at night when it is cooler. A casual observer would never know they were there. Here in "downstate" Illinois (ie. any place outside Chicago), we see plenty of critters, but many times you still have to know where to look.

Hey, I'm curious for those of you who are from the green east but have
spent time here in the arid west. I was just talking with a fella who
has lived here for the last four years and he says that one of the
biggest things he's had to adapt to has been the lack of critters
specifically birds in Ca. versus Chicago where he hails. He says that
in the spring, summer and fall there are many, many more birds and just
plain wildlife there than there is here. Can anybody enlighten me?
I've never lived anywhere else so I don't have anything to compare it
to.
