Summary Introduction

To suggest: Hypothesis for the decline in the number of migratory songbirds in USA due to pesticides, although the implicated pesticides are not used in the United States since the 1970s.

Concept introduction: Birds exhibit the peculiar movement called migration where they commute across large distances, crossing large oceans for propagating their species and escape the unfavorable conditions in their native lands.
