It’s a not often considered environmental hazard of highways and roads. Lance From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of rita.paul@ns.sympatico.ca Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2015 11:16 AM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: EXTERNAL: RE: [NatureNS] sparrows One thing not mentioned in the discussion Lance was the use of road salt. It very effectively wiped out the Hungarian Partridge on PEI. They went from plentiful to rare in a few years after salt came into use. They would get gravel for grit along the road and pick up salt. The same may have happened to House Sparrows also - come to think of it rats - the Norway kind - have had an unlamented decline also. All 3 species are of the invasive kind. The history of most invasive species is that they thrive for a time and then die down. Enjoy the November rain Paul
