Machi the Whimbrel Gunned Down by Hunters
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 13, 2011
This is a bird that flew over 3,400 miles in one flight from Brazil to South Carolina, an amazing bird that is representative of every other Whimbrel. It is estimated that tens of thousands of shorebirds continue to be taken annually by hunting clubs on just these three islands. Image courtesy of Barton Paxton.
