Maybe author Sy Montgomery is right when she says that “birdwatchers often look down on falconry,” and maybe not. Harris’s are also, according to Cowan, smarter than other hawks; they hunt in packs and, for that reason, may welcome humans as hunting partners more so than other raptors.

Serbia has a right-centre Government that for years avoided protecting any of the already proposed areas, heavily pushing the development at whatever cost and miserably failing the environment.

The winter of 2014 is quite warm and the numbers are much lower, but the Opovo record, as counted by Vuckovic, is 250 owls. I observe them, but feel I still lack experience to tell with certainty the SEO from LEO in flight.
