I live just over Talcott mountain from the state police range. Especially on weekends, I could hear the range but learned to block it out. The range was right next to the Farmington River and several large fields. I never noticed changes in bird behavior due to the noise. Problem is, who knows how different it would be if there were no guns?

With no guns, fewer people would be shot and killed.

Ugh, here we go again! Nature has a way of adapting to everything that
we humans have thrown at them. Maybe we should all just give up
everything for the sake of these really stupid birds that suffer
cardiac problems and high blood pressure because they can't even
handle bright clothing, loud voices, the sound of a back-firing car,
walking fast on nature trails, fishing, boats, swimming, chain saw
noise, kite flying, lawn mowers, baseball games, construction
equipment, and on and on! Really?
