Anybody wanting to do a study of lead ingestion in eagles, due to feeding on doves killed with it, should go to Córdoba, Argentina. Within 5 minutes of beginning shooting large numbers of eagles and hawks descend upon the fields, alight on the ground around the shooters and begin feeding on the dead doves....
....There could be no better place on earth to study lead ingestion and it's effect on raptors....
Interesting observations Stan. I wonder, if no one wants to do the studies, there may be the foregone conclusion that the results might not fit the direction some want to take the US. I wonder if 'notox' shot fills the fields and water around those high volume South American waterfowl shoots. Another missed opportunity for a study?
