[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1249126, member: 4362"] I'm sure there have always been cowbirds but your link also says their number increased as people built towns and the birds moved into those areas so Thoreau still has a in my view. I agree with bbird. There is a point of balance and nature can be harsh. A brutal question is if an area is suffering from famine do you send them food or let nature take its course. Sending food could mean artificially raising the carrying capacity where more will suffer under less stressful conditions or do you stand by and let nature thin things back into balance. Tough question. [/QUOTE]
