The trip was far too amazing to encapsulate in one mere blog post, so prepare to be enthralled over the course of several weeks (especially once I find the USB cord for my camera and download my photos.) But to get started, let me try to do in words what Charles M. The tussocks are badgers, the stones are grouse until they fails to fly away.

My second favorite rescue story is that of Hunter, a beagle-ish dog that my daughter and son-in-law adopted from a shelter in Massachusetts.

Originally a hunting term, the Big Five were the most dangerous and prized targets of the great white hunters on safari. This blog post will discuss both the Big and Little members of these quintuplets. They are called Antlions due to ants being one of their main prey items and “lion” referring to hunter or destroyer.

It’s my fantasy and it’s yours: Quit the job, say good-bye to the family, and bird. Each chapter of The Jewel Hunter reads like a mini-travel novel. If you want to travel the world birding and drinking beer, The Jewel Hunter is a must-buy. The Jewel Hunter belongs to a singular niche, the Big Year/Big Lifelist book.

This is also why you very rarely find a photo of a giraffe on top of one of these posts – the other reason of course being that a giraffe photo would be relatively pointless in a birding blog. Barn Swallows are a bit unhappy with their image as restless aerial hunters and would like to gain a more stately and dignified profile.

Among the Efe (Pygmy) people that I lived with in the 1980s, the young men would in fact disappear from the bosom of their families and spend a lot of time, perhaps months, living on their own in the forest. But it seems that many societies have a version of this that is less dramatic. Or get your own.

One study found that birds living in Botswana had elevated levels of lead in their bloodstreams during hunting season, presumably coming from lead bullets used on animals killed by hunters. According to the Eponym Dictionary of Birds (Helm, 2014), “James Sligo Jameson (1856–1888) was an Irish hunter, explorer, and naturalist.

Nationwide, wildlife watchers now outspend hunters 6 to 1. Of the Central Flyway states, Nebraska alone holds out in protecting the cranes, having proven by its longstanding Festival of the Cranes in Kearney that a crane is worth infinitely more alive and purring in the sky with its family than thudding, broken and bleeding, into a cornfield.

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.

Given that the Black Kite is politely described as an “opportunistic hunter” – which includes the fact that they are more likely to scavenge than most other raptors – the name choice of the company protecting the world’s cyber ecosystem is a bit weird.

Animal Ethics

Jonathan Hubbell, a philosophy major at the University of Texas at Arlington, is the newest member of the Animal Ethics blog, and once again, I would like to welcome him aboard. The point is that even hunters seem to think that they need a reason to justify killing these animals.
