Somewhere else, the tricky group would be the LBJs, a.k.a. The 850 hectares / 2,000 acres farm turned into a private reserve is reachable by ordinary cars but once inside, there is a hundred metres / 300 ft drive through a river. The lodge itself lies at 80 m / 260 ft a.s.l., million acres).

In southern Scotland, neat Gretna Green, we saw first hand, the successful re-introduction of the Red Kite into the rural farm areas. The birds are now breeding in the area, but are quite happy to keep coming to the daily feeding station in groups of over 100 birds.

And, of course, there was a group of youngsters barbecuing. And that is why the hides are where they are, not to admire the scenery (or shoot at it – hunting is prohibited in the reserve and the ban is enforced). Next time I visited the Obedska bara, I found wooden benches at the platform. And a table, too. They got the message right.

Squacco Heron – the same as previous, from the left Danube bank levees, also the Veliko Blato Lake (Mika Alas fish farm in the suburb of Krnjaca, #3). In the city, it avoids deeper and larger forests (a domain of the next two species), but visits small groups of trees or tree-lined streets. The best spot is the Reva Pond #6.

The combination of over hunting, and the native animals susceptibility to diseases carried by domestic livestock that were allowed to graze there, completely eliminated these Bighorns by 1915. This small group of Pronghorn Antelope were right at the refuge entrance. The population is now estimated to be at over 500.

The first was Lewis Binford, who noted, correctly, that if you look at actual animal bones from actual archaeological sites, you could not objectively see clear evidence that would distinguish hunting from scavenging, and if you compared these “food remains” to hyena food remains, they looked roughly the same. Hyena crazy.

According to Parker, here are the threats: the ALF, the ELF, SHAC, PeTA and the oddest member of the group, the HSUS. The HSUS isn't even anti-hunting ! Parker uses the term "anti-modern farming activists," which is new to me. Are we pinning people down and force-feeding them vegan burritos? . Amazing isn’t it?

Wolves, for example–the probable ancestors of dogs–live in packs that hunt together and have a complex hierarchy. See TIME’s video “ The March of TIME: Hunting Dog Field Trials.&#. Ancestors of dogs could cooperate to hunt, but the cooperation had limits. Ones that came up to the scientists did.

The combined effects of hunting, habitat loss and predation by introduced animals like rats and mongoose have extirpated the species from some islands and reduced numbers significantly on others. Soon the ducks were joined by others and by 1992, 16 pairs were regularly feeding at his farm.

The spotted hyena displays greater plasticity in its hunting and foraging behaviour than other African carnivores it hunts alone, in small parties of 2–5 individuals or in large groups. During a hunt, spotted hyenas often run through ungulate herds to select an individual to attack. With the ability to run at 70 km/h (43.5

The birds were right next to an old abandoned farm house, and seemed quite happy to have their photo taken, up to a point, but then like the wind, they were gone, out thru the flat desert areas of New Mexico! American Kestrels, Cooper Hawks , and Northern Harriers also found the hunting here to their liking. This was a first!

This is quite a big deal for an island group that had no mammals save bats for millions of years. But animal rights groups (albeit not all of them) not only opposed the move, but sued to prevent the poisoning. In New Zealand at least public opinion is generally behind 1080.

To the Editor: Re “ Suddenly, the Hunt Is On for Cage-Free Eggs ” (front page, Aug. 12): While this is a step in the right direction toward reducing the animal abuse inherent in all factory farming (from the chicken’s point of view), it’s still a long way from what nature intended.

When you read trip reports of birders going to remote and interesting locations to see interesting (and not so interesting birds, I’m looking at you LBJs), these accounts are typically written by people who have either gone with groups of like-minded people or those that have gone it alone.
