Tweeters,

Today Kelly Cassidy took issue with my implicitly deriding all herbicides
(which is a correct interpretation of my statement, furthermore I add
pesticides!).

This leads to the question - how big of a "problem" are our contemporary usage
of herbicides and pesticides for our native birds?

Would any of the scientists care to share references to scientific articles
that attempt to answer this, and related, questions?

Thanks!
