Dogs on the Trail, Even on a Leash, Give Birds a Fright

By HENRY FOUNTAIN
Dog walking: good for you, good for your pet.

Not so good for birds, apparently.

Australian researchers have found that walking leashed dogs along woodland paths leads to a significant reduction in the number and diversity of birds in the area, at least over the short term.

Dan,

Very interesting article. Is this your summary of the article? Summarizations of original information are fine, but not posts with verbatim, copywrited material. A link to the original combined with a brief summary is the best.
You write so well that I cannot tell the difference in your post.
The moderators would appreciate it.



Thanks,
Alan
