DDT did a number on the large birds of prey.

I saw the evidence, and it does not bear this out. Hunters were the cause. I don't care enough about it to do a lot of research again to prove it to you. The only DDT bird kill may have been Pelicans, but even that is in doubt.

The DDT ban was the first great tragedy of the Environmental movement.
