Cowbirds Not Culprits?
NAS Science recently completed a white paper on the impact of cowbirds on bird populations; it reveals some unexpected issues, with the general message that cowbirds are probably NOT having population-wide effects on native birds. The paper is published on-line at: http://www.audubon.org/bird/research/, and has been endorsed by the NAS Board of Directors.
