No, what I said was DDT - remember that hot topic, and keith throwing it at it was the chief downfall of raptors including eagles. This, of course, went against keith's agenda, and so the discussion progressed. Lead shot certainly contributed to that, and ingested lead shot (and more, lead bullets) are certainly killing eagles today, just not enough to slow the population's growth significantly.

Then there was the role of ingested lead and ducks and ANOTHER long diatribe from the "believers" that again went against published data and primary research. But hey, science can always be dismissed.
