There’s little doubt that these unwilling but plucky exiles have beaten the odds over the last few months, first evading the sights of eager autumn hunters, and then the jaws of hungry foxes and weasels, only to endure the many privations of the harsh and long North American winter eking out their survival in a strange and inhospitable landscape.

Scavenger or efficient hunter? Longer story shorter (which I wrote about here ), I found it and was startled to find out that the Ravens ( Corvus corax ) had not only chased it, but they had caught it, killed it, and were in the process of eating the adult King Eider ( Somateria spectabilis ) when I came along.

Many general and master falconers with wild birds will also let them go after a few hunting seasons, especially if they are good hunters to give them a shot at spreading their genes in the wild. Falconers want to be part of the process, they want to get as close as they can to the exciting hunting potential of a bird of prey.

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.

Fin hunters also rarely care what type of shark they remove the fin from, threatening both endangered and at risk species with extinction. There are many groups and people working to end this practice, and with any luck bringing it to light will help speed along the process. Let’s try to save these important apex predators.

Among the gentry there seems not to have been much of a line between being a bird watcher and a bird hunter, and the home naturalist could certainly develop a nice private collection. I did process a few incidentally found-as-dead birds but I was not into collecting them, and at that point, collecting birds was not considered typical.
