Slide deck reporting Year 3 (2007) results from a South River bird study. Objectives included tree swallow survivorship and measuring mercury in prey collected at varying distances from the river. Results indicate spiders supply most mercury to terrestrial-feeding birds, higher blood mercury closer to the river, reduced swallow reproduction/return rates at contaminated sites, and altered corticosterone responses.
