Subject: [ia-bird] Strange Sign
As directed by the DNR no less. How do you communicate this to insects,
reptiles, amphibians and BIRDS! And where is the science that ensures that
the time frame between toxic and safe is correct? After 3:30 pm today?
Seems arbitrary to say the least.

There are indeed noxious invasive plants in the spray area as seen in the
photograph behind the sign but mowing early and before plants flower is a
much less toxic way to stop them in so much as I wonder when this area was
previously sprayed. Would lay money on the fact that it has been poisoned
before...

Once the poisoning becomes evident it also becomes very ugly to look
at...pesticide treatment lasts and degrades the visual beauty of landscape
for a long time.

ps I reread what I wrote earlier and do apologize for the spelling
errors...embarrassing. Guess I was a bit riled up.
