Then I started volunteering at The Raptor Center to give educational programs with live birds of prey and my trainer was a master falconer. Many general and master falconers with wild birds will also let them go after a few hunting seasons, especially if they are good hunters to give them a shot at spreading their genes in the wild.

Even though we spend more money and are far more numerous than hunters this is not commonly understood. The better this film does on the first weekend is critically important to us and the birds.

His underlying point should be well taken by all of us: Birders and bird-educators could have an impact on the future of the Refuge System. I’ve long advocated for a habitat stamp strickly for birders as some of us don’t want to be labeled as hunters. They may weigh in to make their voices heard… or not.

Their populations, plus those of other species that ‘wore’ the coveted long, colorful feathers used for women’s fashionable hats, were being dangerously depleted by hunters intent on feeding the millinery industry.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? Do all hunters realize that?

We actually spent considerable time searching unsuccessfully for this highly sought-after bird; however I did suspect they were not gone, as several hunters I interviewed knew the bird and claimed it still existed.

Given that the Black Kite is politely described as an “opportunistic hunter” – which includes the fact that they are more likely to scavenge than most other raptors – the name choice of the company protecting the world’s cyber ecosystem is a bit weird.
