I see at times 15 or more in the same tree along the river I trap. They have recovered nicely from DDT.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Have to make darn sure every water animal trapped is under water or it will be torn to shreds, or so any holes in it can't be repaired. I love to see them but their a pain in the butt.

DDT never killed anything but insects. Neither DDT nor it's derivatives are capable of harming raptors. It's basic chemistry! Doh!!! 250 million human beings have died needlessly due to ignorant fools believing the libtard lies about DDT. The masses moving off farms and into cities saved the majority of raptors. The Endangered Species Act was the second biggest contributor. The anti pollution measures did the rest.
Hot lead poisoning after stealing chickens terminated more raptors than everything else combined. Mercury and PCBs also had bad effects on raptors.
DDT never harmed a single bird. Ever.

We see quite a few swarming a dead cow kicking the crows and turkey vultures out.

Air conditioning. They started making a comeback just about the time central air was popular installation in rural homes.

If you are close to a major river with dams they will crowd around the open water below the dam. In cold years we have seen up to 300 at the Lock and Dam on the Mississippi by us.

DDT never harmed a single bird. Ever. Not sure what your definition of killing is.....I guess maybe DDT didn't or doesn't directly kill an adult eagle but exposure to it is stored in the fatty tissue of living things. From there it effects the endocrine system of animals. This specifically affects egg shell production in birds and causes a weakened shell. The shell's integrity doesn't allow the fetus to develop to birth. That's why the eagle population plummeted. So I guess DDT didn't directly "kill" these birds, rather it prevented them from increasing their population to the point that they were eventually endangered.

I feel like we have reached that point. Sometimes I see more eagles than crows. The ravens are also bad here. You can't keep anything in plastic outside for longer than a few minutes. Groceries, trash, furs, nothing is safe. I put a Walmart sack with a couple one oz jars Backbreaker and gusto in the bed of my truck. I walked off for 5 minutes and came back to one of them flying away with it. Never got it back.
