Hopefully they can find a way to do it without any spraying, since besides a potential threat to birds, many beneficial insects would be harmed. If they have to spray, I would be more cautious about dong it during fall and winter that spring. If you look at last year, we had more warblers around in winter than this past spring. It was not uncommon to find 15-20 warbler species last winter in a single day, while in spring you're lucky if you break 6! As is the case during a typical spring, most migrants fly right over south Florida except during unfavorable weather.
