For example, years ago, Eiton Tchenrov postulated that the wild progenitor of the domestic dog, some subspecies or another of wolf, could benefit from overlapping its breeding territory with human hunters. It turns out that there is an example of this with wading birds in the Florida Everglades.

In other words, an experimental population of an “endangered” species is treated as “threatened,” which has fewer protections. For example, for “nonessential” populations, FWS is not allowed to designate “critical habitat.” But that does not necessarily mean there are no protections.

This is where a birder can see flock after flock of Eastern Kingbirds flying south, some occasionally alighting in trees to gobble up small fruits (they apparently go “waxwing” when moving south of their breeding grounds). Swarms of swallows zip past and a crazy train of Chimney Swifts can stretch from horizon to horizon.

We also try to re-nest uninjured baby birds so we don’t interfere with a bird’s breeding cycle.
