Drops in numbers of raptors migrating over HMS were used to document the eggshell-damaging effects of DDT. HMS data now supports the benefits of the ban on DDT. HMS has taught raptor counting and helped set up counting stations in countries on critical flyways all over the world. It's an international treasure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-33062522994229795822009-09-23T08:28:40.045-04:002009-09-23T08:28:40.045-04:00It's worth it just for the old fashioned farm ...It's worth it just for the old fashioned farm and woods countryside on the rolling hills of Albany Township, the beautiful view visible from Hawk Mountain. Beautiful drive, a possible ride on the WK&S railroad, a stop at County Line Orchard for some apples . . . a perfect day. <br /><br />I grew up out there and our parents took us to Hawk Mountain as soon as we could toddle. It's always worth a trip.Geophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17206319191769614929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-16627165736134794742009-09-23T07:00:37.485-04:002009-09-23T07:00:37.485-04:00To think that Congress shouldnt do anything else b...To think that Congress shouldnt do anything else because they are debating health care reform is asinine.
