The only wildcat I found was illegally killed by hunters during closed season. Photographed within Beljarica: five White-tailed Eagles by Snezana Panjkovic. Two hundred metres further on, two young White-tailed Eagles were soaring. Fish will lose their spawning ground, otters and White-tailed Eagles will be no more.

This blog was written by Marge Gibson, co-founder of Raptor Education Group, Inc. In a recent case involving my own facility, an immature bald eagle was hit by a car. People passed the eagle often. Rehabilitators also cooperate with law enforcement on illegal activity, and even monitor emerging diseases in avian species.

It’s illegal to raise wild birds (even orphaned ones) without state and federal permits. Young raptors like the above Bald Eagle chick are a different matter. If you find a young hawk or eagle out of the nest and it is covered in down and is unable to stand on its huge feet, it needs to get back in the nest.

The proprietor of our ecolodge guides my small group of birders up a steep slope where we see, just at the point where a scope view deteriorates into pixels, a huge bird—a Chaco Eagle, also known as a Crowned Eagle—on a huge nest. We are cautioned to keep the location of the eagle a secret.

This ruled out some excellent species like Cape Eagle Owl, Violet Wood-hoopoe, African Finfoot and Half-collared Kingfisher and I was still left with 36 species. The korhaans are a group of small bustards and South Africa has 7 species. So I decided to impose a few rules. Knysna Turaco by Keith Valentine of Rockjumper Birding Tours 10.

I was in contact with a group of birders for whom I arranged and guided an annual tour to Africa. According to the World Bank, up to 80 percent of Ghana’s forests had been destroyed by illegal logging by 2008. The rare Rufous Fishing Owl was one of the many species seen by the group here. And wow, what a trip we had!

These truly are the gentle giants of the forest and with a little careful manoeuvring on our wooden platform; we were all enjoying great scope views of a mixed group of beautiful males with their giant jet black casques and pale blue throat wattles alongside the ginger punk-haired females.
