The topic was the concept of humans as predators, or hunters, or really, eaters of meat, and I was discussing the many ways in which people misconceived this notion. Even though this referred to a period after the supposed “scavenging” phase, it lent support to the idea of a stepwise evolution of the ability to hunt.

To the Editor: Re “ Working to Keep a Heritage Relevant ” (news article, Sept. 26): The “heritage” of hunting will continue its decline into irrelevance and will eventually disappear. First, there is no “heritage” of hunting as it is practiced today. In the early days trappers and others hunted for survival. 29, 2010

Another surprise is the two pieces on hunting, an interesting change from the essays on bird feeding in volume one. Dorian Anderson finds a moment of connection with a duck hunter during his bicycle big year, and, despite his distaste for the sport, realizes that in hunters we have allies for conservation. In the next essay, J.

If you can get through the article's pernicious nonsense, there are some salient points, albeit the result of confusion on the part of the author. Again, they just want to prevent the "cruel" hunters from killing Bambi's mother. First of all, does he really believe that piffle? What on earth would even give him that idea?

Their names echo musically in my brain (and challenge my typing skills) as I look at photos fuzzy and sharp, and read tales of habitat encroachment, avian disease, and hunting. Fuller’s astonishment at locating this “grail of extinct-bird photograph hunters” is contagious.

We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds. It includes stunning photographs by Tipling of eagle hunters (as in Kazakhs who hunt with eagles), Stellar Sea Eagles in Hokkaido, Japan, and Black Kites at the dump near New Delhi, India. As they say, the relationship is complicated.

The content of Birding was daunting, with detailed articles distinguishing seemingly identical birds. Virtually all of the identification articles are geared towards world-class ID experts. Such articles are fine, of course, but not at the expense of all content for beginning and intermediate birders.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? Do all hunters realize that? It gives one to wonder why this designation was made.

Because they like to hunt in the tree canopy , they will also eat “iguanas, parrots, porcupines, coatimundis, and raccoons.” ” While they can live in human-modified environments, they are threatened both by deforestation and hunting, and less than 50,000 remain in the wild. .”

As a brand name, “The Famous Grouse” makes for a rather boastful claim – particularly with that obligatory definite article. It’s also one of Scotland’s most iconic birds and the favorite quarry of hunters during the August season that begins on “The Glorious Twelfth”.

I returned home with very mixed feelings, which have spurred this article. 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.

Hunting: You may have noticed that the Written Species Accounts include a section on hunting. I am a city girl and until I became a birder my contact with hunting was limited to occasionally seeing dead deer on the tops of cars in upstate New York. So–not a fan of hunting.
