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 may not agree with it… but for millions of people across this nation hunting is a moral thing to do. You don’t have to buy a special license to hunt a crane. It’s free! Wicked, right?

Oh yeah, and the serious mega of the day was a dang adult Gray-hooded Gull seen at the shorebird hotspot of Punta Morales! A very rare vagrant to Costa Rica from the Humboldt Current, this beautiful gull has been seen in the Osa, on Cocos Island and at Punta Morales on other occasions, including GBD 2019.

I wonder what Americans would think if, in a Wikipedia entry, a Bald Eagle would be illustrated using a photo taken at an Albanian zoo. We Germans of course chose a much more aggressive national bird to match our (hopefully only past) militaristic instincts: the white-tailed eagle. But I am grumbling a little bit about it.
