All eight hunters on the commission think it’s a good idea to shoot cranes in Kentucky. Why allow hunters to shoot right into the middle of them? One was “Superdad,” one of the few successful breeding whooping cranes in the entire eastern population. Could Ohio lose its entire pioneer breeding population?

Larger, denser with avian information than your typical field guide, a Crossley Guide bursts with bird images, photographic plates that verge on the surreal of birds in all plumages and poses against real-life habitats, informing, sometimes overwhelming us with visual and, if you can take your eyes off the images, textual information.

Very little information was available at the time, so we hired a car and off we went, following the few tips we had managed to gather but mostly our noses.

Some of these specimens had labels with basic information and were stored for further work at a later time. These conditions offered easy access to hunters in a habitat where a bird as large as a Guan would have little chances to hide or scape.

Nationwide, wildlife watchers now outspend hunters 6 to 1. Giving a few hundred hunters something else to shoot, in my opinion, cannot be worth the blowback from tens of thousands of people who are willing to travel and spend just to watch the birds fly over. Additionally, sandhill cranes reproduce very slowly.

The length of each bird species account varies, depending on whether the bird is native or a “visitor” (the book’s term for migrant) or vagrant, breeding or non breeding. They breed in dense colonies, incubate their single egg on the feet, and take more than a year to fledge a chick.

And, it is this spirit of acceptance, an embrace of this pristine wilderness and its inhabitants–even when he’s fording a river in icy slush up to his waist or waiting in bitter cold for a fish owl to come into a trap or getting lost in the middle of a snowy nowhere—that informs this book and brings us totally into his world.

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.

Barn Swallows are a bit unhappy with their image as restless aerial hunters and would like to gain a more stately and dignified profile.

On our first morning after breakfast, my group and the teens piled onto a boat and headed out to Eastern Egg Rock, once again the breeding ground for Atlantic Puffins (as well as a host of other seabirds) thanks to biologist Dr. Stephen Kress. A Ruby-throated Hummingbird has approximately 900 feathers; a Tundra Swan, 200-300,000.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts. What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird?

The land was of course already occupied by San (Bushmen) hunter-gatherers for millennia and more recently Bantu tribes of the Nguni branch (most notably Zulus and Xhosas). The bird remained “lost” for 80 years until Captain Claude Grant rediscovered it in subtropical sandforest habitat thus disproving the Verreaux information.

He reasons out answers to both questions, finally stating that, despite what many eyewitnesses wrote, the birds had to have laid more than one egg and that the birds had to have nested more than once a breeding season. Or the destruction of the forests, food source and breeding grounds. Or the absence of legal protection.

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. (It And, much of the research being done in those days was about the mechanisms. And then there is the loon.
