I guess you all know that the Boggy Thicket is in a heavily wooded area at the Northeast tip of Harris County.
That is changing - over the last year or so, literally hundreds of acres of wooded habitat within a mile or two of our home have been bulldozed to make room for a tollway and a half-dozen new subdivisions.
You would think that would cause an increase in the wildlife in our area, but as near as I can tell, it has not. We still see deer, raccoons, possums and skunks, but they are no more common than they have been for the last forty years.
All that wildlife had to go somewhere. I wonder where it went.
