Hulapopper, I'm from SE Ga. We had a ton of birds in the early 80's then they greatly decreased. I was told fire ants, coyotes, armadillos, and raccoons were too blame. Then in the mid 90's we found out that the most probable culprit was insecticide. The bugs on the soybeans died and fell to the ground then the quail ate the dead bugs and it killed the quail. The insecticide thing made sense. The numbers have been slowly but surely recovering since my uncle changed his insecticide practice.
