Last but not least, the Special Nature Reserve is being managed by the local hunting club – the reserve occupies their hunting ground. And the main obstacle for the counters will be mud.

When Corey wrote his ideas about spending money on blogs and birders , I felt a very familiar feeling that I have felt for many years: Why are there not 20 birding shows and a Television BIRD NETWORK? Even though we spend more money and are far more numerous than hunters this is not commonly understood. How will it help Birds?

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.
