Have you ever read Audubon's description of the giant hollow sycamore that thousands of swifts swirled and funneled into for evening shelter and took a full half hour to empty the next dawn? It is in Donald Peatty's Natural History of Eastern Trees... Jeff Wilson makes a good point, as a friend of mine pointed out about people driving around burning fuel to pick up aluminum cans to recycle...sometimes we incur costs that outweigh the benefits...however, the farmers 'market in my town is only a couple of blocks from my usual route to and from work..
