10,000 Birds

FEBRUARY 21, 2012

I’ve just finished reading THE PLUME HUNTER (Torrey House Press, December 2011) by Renée Thompson. Some of the most prolific killing fields were in the marshes of the American West (I knew about Florida but was surprised at how widespread it was), where men shot birds such as grebes, terns, pelicans, snowy egrets, and great egrets.
