For yet another misinformative effort by USDA's Wildlife Services unit, check out this journalistic report (and comments) from West Virginia: http://dailymail.com/News/statenews/200812300201 . If you're having trouble with crows or grackles or blackbirds, this same agency can help you, too, with 100% legal lethal measures! Similarly misleading articles have appeared in Ohio newspapers. Thus far the only well-publicized eradication by Wildlife Services in Ohio has been that which allows the Ohio Division of Wildlife's culling of double-crested cormorants.
