As the national bird of Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, the African Fish Eagle is usually very busy whenever it stays in these countries, giving speeches, opening shopping centers, etc. Others are being killed for use in traditional medicine. While this is a very charismatic bird, the Southern Grey-headed Sparrow emphatically is not.

Kills in Canada, Alaska and Mexico are not included in the count. Texas and North Dakota together account for 88% of the total yearly kill of sandhill cranes. AND you can use lead shot, which will impact any scavenger like a bald eagle that happens to feed on the carcass you leave. You don’t even have to have a duck stamp!
