Thank you to those of you who support the American Bird Conservancy.  I
think they do good work, save a lot of habitat, and their publications are
very informative (also amazing bird photography).  ABC issued a report on
these pesticides.  They are very toxic to bees, but they are also toxic to
birds.  One treated seed can kill an adult songbird.  If you look at this
report (or abc website) you should also find a petition to EPA to prohibit
their use. There is a bill in Congress to do that also.
