trails scattered throughout. Provided hikers are conscientious, their impact is likely to be minimal and come incidentally from car runoff. Most of the species I saw at the YBWA seemed to not mind the presence of cars or hikers much, though the blackbirds continuously flushed as I hiked along the parking lot C trail. Hunting impacts individual ducks immediately, but may be compensatory. In addition to these uses of the YBWA, the ecosystem is actively

I had to pick a park and i chose the gates of the arctic national park because it really hooked me and interested me it sadly has no roads or trails bou is amazing also... You should give the gates of the arctic $10,000,000 because it is a sanctuary for animals and has been inhabited by many tribes. The gates of the arctic is very beautiful and is highly unpredictable. If you like adventures than this is the perfect place for you. The gates of the arctic national park is one of the last great wildlifes

catastrophic nature and vilifying the agricultural community for their negligence. Carson emphasizes the hazards of parathion by exposing its fatal consequences, thereby invoking a need for its prevention. For example, Carson claims that the issue of blackbirds eating nearby cornfields could have been easily resolved, but farmers resorted to sending airplanes on a “mission of death”. Carson uses warlike imagery through the farmers’ intention for the planes to be used against the birds through parathion

For a long time, farmers have had a problem with the animals and insects that invade their property in pursuit of finding food. To reduce the amount of crops lost, farmers utilized poisonous substances known as pesticides, to eliminate the invaders. However, the application of these pesticides has gradually increased while the population of animals and insects has declined. By only focusing on eliminating the pests, farmers haven’t closely considered the consequences that pesticide usage has caused

“There was the honest cock robin, the favorite game of the stripling sportsmen, with its loud querulous note; and the twittering blackbirds flying in the sable clouds; and the golden-winged woodpecker with his crimson crest, his broad black gorget, and splendid plumage; and the cedar bird, with its red-tipt wings and yellow-tipt tail and its little monteiro cap of feathers; and the blue jay, that noisy coxcomb, in his gay light blue coat and white underclothes, screaming

To move on, he turns into other objects because he doesn’t have anybody to hang out with after and while school. As an example, Brain turns into a red-winged blackbird because people noticed it. This illustrates, Brain would rather be a bird that a human to deal with being teased for twenty-four hours. In any case, you know that Brian is

are “deadly” and trigger a “wave of death,” an example being in 1959 when farmers caused the death of “some 65,000 red-winged blackbirds and starlings.” She is disgusted by these recurrences and sends a strong message to her audience that this must be stopped. Carson deliberately adds that these farmers act as if they are on a “mission of death” just waging a “needless war on blackbirds.” How outlandish, Carson reveals, is it for these grown men to act as if this is a balanced battle. Their actions

Introduction: For my field project I chose to spend my time at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. I chose this as my destination because the convenience of being in close proximity, allowing my partner and I ease if multiple trips were needed. I also found it intriguing that an auto tour was offered. The auto tour not only provided convenience and allowed for more grounds to be covered and data luxuriously collected, but also proved advantageous when it came down to a vantage point for wildlife viewing

necessity. By speaking to the effects the pesticides have on wildlife, Carson reinforces the idea that public action needs to take place to save the animal population. Carson mentions that the pesticides’ “casualty list included some 65,000 red-winged blackbirds and starlings.” Carson’s militaristic language emphasizes the seriousness and urgency of the topic, drawing the public’s attention. Moreover, uninvolved animals such as
