Use of agricultural fields by birds during canola planting in Saskatchewan : potential for exposure to pesticides / Pamela A. Martin, Todd W. Arnold and Douglas J. Forsyth. : CW69-5/358E-PDF
"We determined bird use of agricultural fields during the spring canola planting season in central Saskatchewan to assess the potential for birds to be exposed to granular insecticides and seed-coatings. We censused 365 fields using roadside point counts and 60 fields using 1-km line transects, between 17 and 30 May, 1992. Almost 60 avian species were observed. Totals of 48 and 45 species were encountered in roadside point counts and line transect counts, respectively. ... The presence of large numbers of ground-feeding migrant species in cultivated fields in the spring, suggests that applications of granular insecticides or insecticidal seed-treatments may pose a substantial risk for wildlife"--Abstract, p. iii.
