PESTICIDE BIRD KILL
INCIDENT SETTLED
AUSTIN--The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recently settled a case
against the second of two men charged in connection with two separate bird kill
incidents involving the illegal use of the pesticide Bidrin in December 1988 and
January 1989.
A south Travis County man pleaded guilty and paid $200 in fines and court
costs. He paid the department $800 in civil restitution. In an earlier case in Williamson
County, a man was fined $1,000 after pleading no contest in 1989.
The two incidents occurred within two weeks of each other. The men were
filed on for violations of the regulations protecting nongame and migratory game birds
and for misapplying pesticides. Bidrin, which is labeled for cotton, was fatal to about
1,500 birds in southeast Travis County and 200 birds near Granger in Williamson
County.
Affected species, common to both kills, included red-winged blackbirds,
mourning doves, western meadowlarks, Brewer's blackbirds, brown-headed cowbirds
and house sparrows. A northern harrier (marsh hawk) and a great horned owl were
killed in Williamson County, while a northern harrier, several pigeons and killdeer
were killed in Travis County.
