Slide deck summarizes a Year 3 proposal for a bird study of mercury exposure in South River songbirds. Findings: elevated Hg in most species, young tree swallows produce fewer chicks, spatial Hg patterns are inconsistent, diets appear superficially similar despite differing Hg, and young bluebirds have lower Hg than adults. Next steps target swallow monitoring, finer diet sampling, and sub-lethal biomarkers.

Review Notes :
Document is a short slide deck that explicitly thanks SRST, so it is categorized as an SRST meeting presentation. The PDF does not show an author or an explicit date; the original filename suggests 2007-01-30 but that date is not visible on the slides, so document_date is left null.
