Eco-queer?Read my post slowly.Anyway,my son and I went to Meridian yesterday.On the south bound side of I59\20 there were four hawk carcusses.On the north bound side there were three.The point of my post is that raptors hunting in the median of a modern highway are killed at a high rate and is probably more of a consern than any supposed lead toxicity issue.This is an observation. Just as is posts above relating the to the fact that the posters saw birds of prey eating doves shot with lead shot.One would assume with such high numbers of doves eaten by these raptors they would have seen at least some showing ill effects.Observation is one leg of scientific investigation but admittly does not make a rigrious and complete study.Now for the record I do not support a lead ban nor do I support taking a pickax to the interstate system.Eco-queer indeed,nobody talks to me like that except my wife and momma..and maybe my mother-inlaw.
