2007 Collecting Killing Science 
10,000 Birds

In 2007 I was working in a university building that was just begging for bird feeders. I put it in a small box for several hours, where it appeared to recover, but studies have shown that internal injuries from a strike usually kill the bird. Dead birds are a part of the life of a birder, a feeder of birds, and of bird science.

The tiercels (young Peregrines) must deal with Golden Eagles, Ravens, adult Peregrines, and foxes; they must also learn to navigate the skies and make their own kills, luckily these skills appear to be innately learned. Coyotes took carrion from young Condors and then killed the weakest ones. It’s not easy.
