Hi All,

As some of you remember, I'm gathering info to combat the forces of darkness
that wish to spray my entire county for mosquitoes, ostensibly to "control "
West Nile Virus even though there's not been a single reported case of of it
up here !

Anyway, in re-reading "SILENT SPRING", the late great RAchel Carson makes
the observation that there's no better pesticide than songbirds, the very
creatures that have been decimatd  by chemical pesticides ( they eat the
worms that ingest the pesticides)

I'm looking for some stats/info on the decline of songbirds...Any leads ?

Thanks

Claude
