So, I anxiously followed the “Flock to Marion 2022” Facebook group in anticipation for open cabins to come up for sale. The seal hunters accidentally introduced mice to Marion, as was the case for many islands around the world. We arose each morning at 4:30am to find out that we were late to the game.

If you are a bad hunting partner and do not flush enough game, the raptor will fly off when released and not return. 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. Go home now!”

I started to learn how to tell waders (and gulls) apart only when I locally ran out of other hard bird groups to tackle. The game-changer was the new scope, Swarovski 25-60×65 STX , which truly allowed me to follow those tiny tracks in the mud. And it wasn’t so long ago. When there was hardly much else left, I accepted the shorebirds.

Plastic behaviors are not automatically unrelated to natural selection, but the way those behaviors vary across individuals or across groups may not be best explained by underlying genetic differences. How do the birds that were not kept out of the predator game for a generation or more come up with the predator-avoidance behavior?

The first most readers have probably been aware of, the cheerleader hunter who has been in the news for, well, hunting game animals and being attractive and blonde. I’ve written before about how I don’t think shooting game in the name of conservation is necessarily a bad idea. she’s Texan.

Dirt hawking is a form of falconry that involves hunting rabbits and other small game with Harris Hawks (other hawk species also qualify). There is no wind and the habitat is perfect for cottontail rabbits and the much larger jackrabbits (actually hares), the preferred quarry of this group of three birds. All photos by Charlie Kaiser.

Nationwide, wildlife watchers now outspend hunters 6 to 1. Giving a few hundred hunters something else to shoot, in my opinion, cannot be worth the blowback from tens of thousands of people who are willing to travel and spend just to watch the birds fly over.

As a group, yes, we are anti-hunting,” she said. The hunters who do not eat their crows) “are providing a smorgasbord for other wildlife!” Since no one was vilified by gun club defenders more than Friends of Animals , I called its New York director, Edita Birnkrant. But the idea that hunting could ever be banned is ridiculous.

Actually, I was bested by an entire group of teenagers, all gathered – along with 36 adults – on Hog Island , Audubon’s famous camp off the coast of Maine. Each year Hog Island offers programs, taught by a stellar staff of naturalists and artists, to groups of all kinds (teenagers, adults, families).

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? That’s what you do with other game, right? Do all hunters realize that?
