EAGLENINJA is so full of misinformation....I have read the papers on egg shell thinning and not a single one of them produces ANY notion of eggshell thinning due to DDT....quite the contrary, the decline was due to poor nutrition and loss of habitat due to large numbers of "family farms" denuding millions of acres because the people were starving !!! Large agribusiness...some may hate it...is responsible for the resurgence of bird, deer and predator populations.... not a damned thing done by the environmentalists or the Rachel Carson socialist liars brought these populations back!!!!

Mmmmaybe for eagles, but I'm not sure how that applies to falcons, who feast of the type of small prey that's often a pest on farms, like birds and rodents.

If falcons do well in cities and suburbs, it's hard to see how they wouldn't thrive on a family farm.
