Growing up in the 60s and 70s, I never heard of coyote sightings here in north central Illinois farm country. Now they are here. Not a common sight, but there are plenty of them.
I wonder why they started spreading just recently.
Used to see a lot of crows. Now very rare sight.
Never heard of turkeys being here, now there are plenty, although not sighted often.
Never saw red tailed hawks, now they are common.
Use to be lots of pheasants, now none. (Harsh winters and farming changes)
Deer were not rare but not plentiful. Then not too long ago they were plentiful. Now (I think because of coyotes) they are less plentiful.
Canada geese used to be uncommon. You all probably know how they are now.
Interesting how these things change during a person's lifetime.
