10,000 Birds

The book is richly illustrated with contributions from a group of birders/photographers who were fortunate to see and document many of the vagrants covered. There are many more factors than I imagined: compass errors, wind drift, overshooting, extreme weather and irruptions, natural dispersal, and human-driven vagrancy.

The results will inform a vision document to be adopted in July 2011 at a national conference to guide the NWR system for wildlife protection into the next decade and beyond. I’ve long advocated for a habitat stamp strickly for birders as some of us don’t want to be labeled as hunters. Thanks for visiting!

Animal Ethics

DECEMBER 23, 2006

Even hunters try to justify their killing of animals with reasons, e.g., "If we don't cull the deer herd, there will be massive starvation of deer come winter, so we are doing the deer a favor by providing them a quick death (assuming accurate shooting, which one really shouldn't assume!) rather than a slow death from starvation."
