Environmental Impact - Wildlife/Vegetation Effects
Bird, D. M. (1978). Birds of Prey: A plea for ethics. Ontario Naturalist 17(5): 16-23.
Abstract
Problems facing birds of prey are described in this non-technical article.
Effects of man on raptors are discussed, including impacts of research,
wildlife photography, and bird watching. Disturbances of birds by these
activities can cause adults to abandon nests, and decrease survival of
eggs and young through predation of exposure. Education of the public
on the values of birds of prey is essential for their protection.
