SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

In Cyprus it also means that the hunters and trappers are active again. If you’re a birder though, you had better have a police escort as some of my birder friends had to last week, while they went as part of an Important Bird Area data gathering group. There are also hunters in Cyprus, which are an entirely different situation.

A 2011 survey by the U.S. million hunters. This means that only 11% of hunters buy the Duck Stamp raising approximately $25 million a year. Since its inception that $800 million has helped to protect over 6 million acres of habitat for wildlife and future generations. A lot more money! Let’s look at some facts.

President Obama has added 10 new refuges in his first term.

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. They are daring divers, powerful underwater swimmers, and cooperative hunters. Blue-footed Booby Day 2011 will be celebrated on Friday, June 17.

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?
