Dirt hawking is a form of falconry that involves hunting rabbits and other small game with Harris Hawks (other hawk species also qualify). One of the primary reasons that these hawks make such excellent falconry birds is because they are one of only two raptor species (the other is the Galapagos Hawk ) that hunt cooperatively.

For example, I could recommend that you read the story above in its original German language as the “subtleties of Kafka’s mastery of the language are not fully covered in the translation”).

Where predators are rare, turning more attention to feeding might produce a Darwinian benefit, for example. The most famous example of this is probably the Galapagos Islands.

There are famous overly dramatic renditions of this for the guy folk that you know about … the walkabout and the vision quest for example.

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? It gives one to wonder why this designation was made.

As an example, my posts on 10,000 Birds are searchable and available online worldwide, but my articles in Birding (such as the one above) are essentially confined to oblivion. But as far as I can tell, nobody advocates for birders, so lands are opened to hunting and fishing , but not birding, photography, and other non-consumptive uses.

But on Burns Night, luckily for the grouse, it’s always the poor, timid sheep that ends up on the supper table, in the form of that most infamous example of Scottish cookery – the haggis.

Hunters go to Africa to shoot lions, and this is without question a good thing; for birds, for ecosystems, and for lions in general! I guess the natural question is… how does some hunter from the US help in the conservation of the lion? Hunters are prepared to spend a lot of money for the privilege of shooting a lion.

The point is that even hunters seem to think that they need a reason to justify killing these animals. You don't find many hunters who candidly and unapologetically say: "I hunt because I like to kill. Hunting wouldn't be the "noble," "manly" "sport" that it is, if these were the reasons for doing it.
