Hello world from North Alabama, USA

When I was living in Lamar County, Alabama, many years ago, we had several 
coveys of quail.

60 years later, the same area has 0 amounts of these birds. The area I live 
in had birds all around

for hunters to kill the limit each time they hunted.

I am not saying Neonics are responsible for the demise. The main question 
is, if not neonics,

then what is causing the problem???  Don't see as many other birds 
population dropping......

Lionel
