That is what I am implying and stating explicitly. And I have pointed this out many times. The interaction is hardly overwhelming, but it is, in general, positive. Also true for ducks, pheasants, and other ground nesting birds, including passerines. They are not "good" for most ungulates, though they may have some positive affects, those are usually outweighed by the direct negatives. Not so for birds, however. Not in the coastal canyon lands of California to prairie potholes of the Midwest, to the eastern turkey timbers.
