Here you go – Birder’s World, Dec 2009 – article about the decline of Evening Grosbeaks. But I was wrong about the pine beetle – it is the spraying of the spruce budworm (native) that has been suggested as a possible reason for dwindling numbers of Evening Grosbeaks.

Hi Amber, thanks for visiting. It is my first time participating in the Carnival of the Spineless and so far I have found all the posts quite interesting. Can you pass along the name of the article/magazine as I’d love to check it out?

Those pesky hidden pesticide side effects in your example seem eerily similar to that experienced by DDT and bald eagles/brown pelicans. We don’t often realize the damage that our actions are causing until a species is in peril.

Hi – I am here visiting from CotS. I am glad you highlighted the importance of insects in our ecosystems, and the detrimental impact of their extinctions. I just read in a magazine last night about a bird species that has declined rapidly here in North America, and how the bird’s decline coincides with the simultaneous pesticide spraying of the pine beetles. Yikes.
