I’m extremely grateful to Paul for taking the initiative in raising awareness of this NWR campaign. Besides founding 10,000 Birds and I and the Bird , Mike has also created a number of other entertaining sites and resources, particularly the Nature Blog Network.

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?

Since I was mapping-in human ‘territories’ or home ranges, and trying to figure out how tropical hunter-gatherers found their way around the landscape, the mechanisms of migration were interesting to me.
