Hell I've seen the civits disappear around here as well and there aren't any farms spraying pesticides around.
It could be that farmers and the Government killed a lot of predatory birds back in the day which released the populations.
I've seen the porcupines go and I've seen the fox and coon come.
Stuff just changes.

bingo joel.
Stuff does just change.
It would be nice to know why but maybe sometimes it just is.
The old boys who came here during the dustbowl days said they never saw a moose hardly, when I was a teenager we were almost over run. Its been a couple years since I have saw one now. Maybe coming full circle?
Randy pre whiteman se SD and Iowa was prairie.

There's a lot more to look at here than what I'm seeing discussed on this thread.
John, the USFWS will be doing a status review following the "may be warranted" finding as required by the ESA. What would you include in this review that hasn't been discussed on this thread.

steve not all of Iowa was prairie. NE Iowa would never support prairie habitat what happened there and other parts was done by glaciers long time before the whiteman. Other areas as well sure some of it was praire, but not all. Along the river basin you had wooded habitat in extreme SE SD and that is condusive to grey fox. THe rest not so much.
