So you can imagine our disappointment when we crawled out of the car after our trip to find out that Mike was in fact relaxing in the warm kitchen and had no idea where the woodpecker was! Why is that awesome?

It is in this habitat that birders seek out goodies like Red-cockaded Woodpecker and Bachmann’s Sparrow. Though Three Lakes is popular with hunters I did not see single other person for the first two hours I explored. I had no luck with the woodpeckers but did hear the call note of a Bachmann’s Sparrow.

of Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett has indicated that if enough people write in protest, the proposed hunting season–due to start this December– will be reconsidered. Hunting is on a steady downturn, and nonconsumptive wildlife pursuits are on a tremendous upswing. We can fight them back in Kentucky, too.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? Do all hunters realize that?

It may be just the time to change that. A birding year in Serbia.
