Yesterday I ran the post Habitat Loss Not Insecticides Causes Declines In Grassland Birds | Natural History Wanderings. This conclusion may not be correct. There have been a few article about bird decline being more connected to pesticides than previous believed. The pesticides are neonicotinoid chemicals which have already been identified as a major cause of honey bee deaths. Read more at BBC News – Bird decline smoking gun for pesticides effects. It appears habitat loss and pesticides both have significant negative impact on bird populations.
