   USDA TARGETS 6 MILLION BLACKBIRDS:  The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture is
   planning to poison "6 million blackbirds to reduce damage to sunflower
   crops in the Upper Midwest" says the Minneapolis Star-Tribune 9/29. The
   plan, which must still undergo environmental review, would put poisoned
   rice in fields during the spring migration and is "one of the largest
   bird-killing efforts undertaken" by the USDA. Environmentalists and the
   USFWS say the project "may not save crops, but probably will kill
   thousands of other birds and wildlife."
