Hi Andy and all:

Sunflower seedsDate: Sat, 23 Feb 2008 22:22:42 -0400
I received a phone call this evening but unfortunately failed to get the na=
me of the caller.=20
He has no access to send messages to NatureNS so asked me to pass a messag=
e to the group, and Elinor Lindsay in particular, regarding sunflower seed=
s.
He quoted a book by Scott Weidensaul titled 'Living On The Wind' ...specifi=
cally chapter 8....which apparently relates an experience , I believe it wa=
s in Argentina . where Swainsons Hawks died in large numbers when they ate=
grasshoppers contaminated with either pesticide or herbicide .[ sorry to b=
e so vague but it was a brief call ]
He suggested that sunflower seed has evolved from simply being produced t=
o help birds survive the winters into a major business crop, and this has r=
esulted in lower safety standards, at least in some of the countries produc=
ing huge commercial crops, and he strongly urged that we read the item.
I checked the Valley Regional Library catalogue but drew a blank on that ti=
tle.=20
