[cobirds] Off-topic question on the effects on birds of the poisoning of prairie dogs.

I just learned, in time only to be disgusted by the futility and stupidity of it, that it has been decided at my place of work to poison the sizable prairie-dog colony that lives on our grounds. 

Tomorrow. 

To say nothing of the fact that the prairie-dogs do not pose the barest inconvenience to anyone, I am also concerned about the effect this action will have on the birds. 

Obviously, the Red-tails that live in the area because of the easy meals risk being poisoned themselves, by eating poisoned prey. 

Can anyone comment on any additional threats to birds and other wildlife as a result of this kind of action?

Thanks,

Dave Cameron

Denver
