10,000 Birds

What do you do when you – a citizen whose rights are protected by the U.S. This is what we need for birds, whose rights as government-protected species are violated every day by free-roaming cats. They would be made up of people who are sick and tired of government-protected species being slaughtered by domestic cats.

At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into.” And it does not even live in reeds.

Soon this strategy paid off, as we came across a Gray Hawk right along the edge of the river. It is a common bird itself but I had never managed to see one so well even though I butchered the photographic opportunity. Gray Hawk nearly in full adult plumage. Ringed Kingfisher , both above and below.

Sure, it’s been well over a month since I returned from my fun-filled, family vacation to Honduras but that doesn’t mean that it’s too late to blog about it, right? The avifauna is distinctly Caribbean as well, with some Caribbean species found only on the islands and nowhere else in Honduras. Taxonomy is fun!

It’s one thing to add some seed, suet and fruit to the grocery list right before a snow storm hits…but if you feel stressed because you have to make your own personal mix of seed for your birds six times a day or you have personally failed and perhaps sentences some birds to certain starvation in your yard? Grackle Guy?

Some have tried to resolve this gap by hunting or butchering an animal themselves, as if those experiences might somehow legitimize the endeavor of eating animals. This is not a book about animal rights, and some might say Foer gets animal rights wrong as his only reference is PETA. This is very silly.
