Scott craven et al at UW Madison put out a great paper on songbird predation by cats in WI. I'll hunt up info on contact if you want to pursue this angle.

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
