[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5850151, member: 1409"] I'm sure the increased use of corn feeding/baiting is just one of many factors. But it is a factor, and a factor we have a choice to either increase its detriments, or reduce those detriments. It is noteworthy that the decline in bobwhite quail has coincided with the rise in deer feeders doting the landscape. If a single kernel of aflatoxin corn can kill an adult turkey, would presume even a tiny speck of cracked corn could kill a much smaller bird? Perhaps the increased use of "feeders" everyone is also a contributing factor in the decline of songbirds? In my youth, not only were quail abundant, but we also had more songbirds, and spring, summer, and fall air was more full of their pleasant sounds. How many people on this site now have never heard the song of a meadowlark? The meadowlark's disappearance has been right along with the bobwhite quail's. After clicking, scroll down to hear the sounds . . . . . .
