I’m sorry you and so many are going through this. It’s a good thing you can recognize the positives in life during tough times.
Just curious, has a large section of woods been cleared near your home? That will push animals in different directions. When the woods were cleared a few years ago right by my house we had deer & baby deer in our yard all summer. The turkeys rarely come out in the open two acres behind my house. We saw a few when my husband dumped the last bag of deer corn this spring. (They hunt behind our house.)
I’ve noticed a large increase in bird activity.
Something that I can’t figure out. If you know please share. Seagulls come inland in around February & stay till late March, 2-3 hours (driving) from the coast of North Carolina. I’m in the Eastern/North of NC. They get in parking lots just like they do at the coast. In the fields & this year I saw a large flock following a tractor as it plowed.
I’ve searched online & can’t get an answer. I never saw this as a kid (70s) & I think it started about ten years ago. At least that’s when I noticed. It’s a puzzle I’d love to solve.

In the UK we have had a huge problem of seagulls taking up residence on industrial estates.Their habits have changed over the last thirty years. I used to only see them along the coast but now we have huge flocks of them many miles inland. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210615-why-sea-gulls-are-making-their-homes-in-our-cities
That’s interesting and good information. Any other bird I probably wouldn’t notice. I love the coast & sea gulls. They are funny.
