Many of these islands are part of the Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge and one of the most important areas is Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) wants to eradicate all of the mice on Midway. Invasive species , particularly rodents, have long been a problem on the Hawaiian archipelago.

Because ingestion of spent lead shot has been documented to cause acute health problems in wildlife (most notably death), use of lead shot has been increasingly restricted over the past few decades. On federal wildlife refuges and many states’ wildlife management areas, non-toxic shot is required when hunting all game birds.

I was chatting with Gordon about this and we discussed how drones could be a safer way to get photos of birds or document birds for breeding surveys, but he was quick to point out, “You and I already have an idea of what a safe distance would be to test that out with an active bald eagle nest. What if there’s an injury?

People who work with wildlife understand that death is a part of life. People do not work with wildlife for fame and fortune. What about others who work tirelessly to repopulate and protect wildlife, who live in fear this may happen to their colonies? What about people who are kind and decent and obey the law?

Fort Tilden and Jacob Riis Park both had some birds but nothing spectacular so I moved on to Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, hoping that the recent rains hadn’t filled up the East Pond to the point where it was unwalkable. I had no idea I already had the shots above so I felt I had to try to document the bird!

Illegal wildlife traffickers provide fake credentials to establish that primates are being legitimately offered for sale. Their ads claim that the primate comes with "veterinary health documents, a "permit" from CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) and a year's health care guarantee.

The rodents eat the bait, stagger out of the building looking for water, and are easy prey for whatever carnivore happens to be passing by, be it wildlife or someone’s pet. This means not only can they continue poisoning kids, pets, and wildlife for years while the case drags through court, but now they have a monopoly on the market.
