I absolutely loved reading this and having it reassert my grandmother's "old wives' tales" in my mind. She always used to tell me that when the birds would get quiet, we were in for a storm or, at the very least, some heavy rain. She also used to tell me that birds would sing more so after a storm to reestablish their territory and because it hypnotized the worms to come to the surface. Lol, I thought that last one was kind of farfetched but, as I learned by reading this almanac, it wasn't so far out in right field as I once believed. Older folks knew so much more about reading nature's signs than we do today because they didn't have our technology, they lived by their wits and observed all those tiny details that we take for granted and overlook. Thank you for sharing this w us and helping me to understand more about our feathered friends..., and that my grandmother was right A LOT more than she was ever wrong lol.
