Howdy, Birders,
As a birder who has had the privilege of visiting many of the world's breeding seabird colonies at islands everywhere, it has become evident to me that the impact of introduced predators at these breeding colonies can be quite substantial. Tremendous successes and strides have been made by eliminating these predators which include rats, mice, cats, goats, pigs and more. Excellent examples such as Campbell Island have shown how not only seabirds can rebound with the removal of rats, but also native vegetation — in this case, the mega herbs.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife has announced the availability of a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for a proposed project to eradicate non-native, invasive house mice from South Farallon Islands, part of the Farallon National Wildlife Refuge off the coast of California. The comment period ends on September 30, 2013.
