Try thinking about how many more bird of prey there are now(protected)? Theres the answer. More BS. The same people who think the U.S. is killing the world. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/scien...1970/ar-AAHxTY3?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=iehp Vietnam--1967 46th.

They are talking about West Nile Virus killing Millions upon Millions of birds. More than wind turbines, even. LOL. Birds that eat millions of insects, pollinate crops and plants, spread seeds, etc. Yeah, it's a BIG DEAL. w Last edited by walleyed; 09/19/19 04:17 PM.

The news said that the 2 bird species most effected were house sparrows, which are an invasive pest species and disease vector and meadow larks. Less house sparrows is a good thing. The whole country of China once tried to exterminate the house sparrows there. Habitat loss, overly abundant birds of prey and a population explosion of furbearers is most likely to blame for the decline in meadowlarks. There are hundreds of meadow larks that nest in the hay fields near me. They are the most common, noticeable bird in the hay fields here. Keith

The Prairie Chickens are all gone. Occasionally a Woodcock will fly over. Last edited by seniortrap; 09/20/19 09:39 AM. Vietnam--1967 46th.

Too many Hawks, Owls and Eagles setting and waiting on the release. There was plenty of grain and cover. Lots of brush and woods and water. Now there are too many Turkeys taking over all feed for other animals. You can go by different fields in the winter and count(approx.) 100-1000 birds in the field.
