For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. Also, with the opening of more hunting seasons i am hopefull that more concerned sportsmen will start an organization along the same grain as Ducks Unlimited to protect and create Sandhill habitat. Isn’t that neat?

Hybrid dabbling duck , Rieselfelder Münster, Germany. Also high on my list of favourite birds for 2016 is a hybrid dabbling duck whose parentage I have yet to find out. But … GREAT BUSTARDS!! It is clear that a Common Teal was involved, but the second partner? That’s not bad. Shore Lark , Sylt, Germany.
