The name Peregrine means “wanderer,” and northern-nesting Peregrines are among North America’s long-distance migratory species, some moving 25,000 kilometers every year. They were officially listed as Endangered in 1970 in the U.S. BBC Nature has a really cool video of the Peregrine hunting a pigeon in a stoop.

One thing you must do is hire a local guide, as while you can hunt for yourself you’ll see a hell of a lot more with one. This small bustard is perhaps the same species as the more widespread White-bellied Bustard, but if it is separate its a rare bird to see and pretty special. Wouldn’t fancy my chances by myself.

Activities such as hunting, fishing, and trapping are categorized as “consumptive” uses. In contrast, consumptive uses were minor: fishing accounted for 10 percent and hunting was just 4 percent. Critically, NWRs preserve habitat and wildlife, often for endangered species.
