Look at the facts, lay your emotions aside and listen to reason—exactly the same reasoning that’s been so persuasive in convincing me that hunting cranes is the right thing to do. Bald Eagles will provide a sporting challenge for hunters. Hunters don’t even need to use decoys. We need to give hunters new opportunities to hunt.

Unless those non-birding folks happen to be duck hunters or love to go fishing, they tend to stay away from the marshes, the riparian zones, the bottom lands. However, much to our pleasant surprise, recent grading had transformed the moonscape on the entrance road to a smooth, if dusty, ride right on in to Cano Negro village.

(Check out Part 1 here) (Check out Part 2 here) This hawk was a fierce hunter. Just as she was getting around to finishing, another blackbird flew in and she ducked to evade the attack, dropping the severed gopher head which promptly stuck to the side of the streetlight just out of reach. It seemed she was saving the head for last.

Then there was the famous Tufted Duck at a water treatment plant in Winston-Salem in February of 2009. That’s a skill as much as recognizing vagrant peeps or putting a name to non-vocalizing Empids, and one under-rated by some would-be vagrant hunters. They just need the right birder to find them.

Oh, cheeky me left out another alternative for both cases, which brings us right to the origin of these sayings: the devil. The origin of this expression clearly lies in the slow, dopey waddling gait of a duck on land.
