All eight hunters on the commission think it’s a good idea to shoot cranes in Kentucky. The public comment period on the Kentucky sandhill crane hunting proposal ends AUGUST 1 2011.

Many avid fans even wear bracelets… But then again, boobies as a group are pretty spectacular and first among equals must be the booby with the blue feet.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? Over the winter, the universe lost four whooping cranes to what appears to be recreational shooting: three gunned down together in Georgia on December 30, 2010, and another in Alabama on January 28, 2011. Do all hunters realize that?

He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their two indoor cats, Hunter and B.B. Corey Mar 22nd, 2011 at 5:38 am I agree. Jacey Mar 22nd, 2011 at 2:03 pm Hi Everyone.

I was in contact with a group of birders for whom I arranged and guided an annual tour to Africa. We actually spent considerable time searching unsuccessfully for this highly sought-after bird; however I did suspect they were not gone, as several hunters I interviewed knew the bird and claimed it still existed.

The population decline is generally blamed on habitat destruction and introduced predators, but inter-breeding may also be to blame. Foxes have also been known to take their eggs and there are now numerous local groups who endeavour to help the populations of Hooded Plovers along their local coastlines.
