There was a lot of hunting for Bald Eagles—it is traditionally a game species. Yes, they have been an endangered species for as long as most of us can recall, but remember, they were traditionally a hunted species. Bald Eagles will provide a sporting challenge for hunters. Hunters don’t even need to use decoys.

For example, you will find no one arguing for outdoor cats, drunk driving on a twitch, or rooting for the New York Mets. We are more refined, merely enjoying invasive species, thinking extinct birds are gone and you should get over it, and that those who like to watch gulls probably have a screw or two loose.

Where predators are rare, turning more attention to feeding might produce a Darwinian benefit, for example. Most likely, all individuals of a given species have very similar genes guiding very similar developmental processes, but produce different results because the plasticity itself is selected for.

These are the dolphins in your tuna fish, for example. About 15 million birds are killed annually by hunters, and of course this is distributed among a very small number of species. The difference is, if you pick 1 billion, the dead birds will be randomly distributed among the most common 10 species.

For example, shark fin soup is a delicacy in most of Asia, especially China. While there are laws in place protecting endangered species of shark from shark finning, international waters are rarely regulated when it comes to the practice. The high rate of finning seriously puts many shark species at risk of disappearing completely.

The idea of Lost Animals was conceived after the publication of Extinct Birds (2001), a 400-page, four-pound book on 75 extinct species. Lost Birds looks at photographic representations of 28 species, 21 of which are birds. Some document one of the last views of the species, others are of the last representative of the species.

Dirt hawking is a form of falconry that involves hunting rabbits and other small game with Harris Hawks (other hawk species also qualify). One of the primary reasons that these hawks make such excellent falconry birds is because they are one of only two raptor species (the other is the Galapagos Hawk ) that hunt cooperatively.
