Fracking tied to reduced songbird nesting success

Fracking tied to reduced songbird nesting success The central Appalachian region is experiencing the country's most rapid growth in shale gas development, or 'fracking,' but we've known almost nothing about how this is affecting the region's songbird populations -- until now.
