They will list ten or twenty or fifty titles, and will include, inevitably, Hunter Biden’s autobiography, and Volume 12 of Barack Obama’s, and other such works. But there is, apparently, and thanks to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, some good news on the rat front in that part of the world.). Stay tuned.]

It is estimated that there were more than 1000 Great Bustards in the northern lowlands of Serbia at the beginning of the 20th century, but back then these birds were also present in the south and the east of the country. Bustards are very susceptible to any kind of disturbance and, naturally, hunters like to shoot.

The whistling duck call carries with it the crimes of big business, the failures of governments and the ignorance of irresponsible hunters. With assistance from the Negril Area Environmental Protection Trust (NEPT) a boardwalk and nature centre have been established. They are also the rarest.

Species Accounts–Plates: Three plates are presented for most species: Winter/Spring, Summer/Fall, and Flying (usually a 2-page plate whose length accentuates the beauty of waterfowl in flight). To help us practice, Waterfowl presents mystery plates. I was really taken aback when I saw this.

And then, in 1996, a farmer/fossil-hunter named Li Yinfang found a unique fossil in his home province of Liaoning–a beautifully preserved turkey-sized creature that clearly had feathers. People and history come into play in “The dinosaur hunters,” a chapter on larger than life personalities such as E.D. No feathers!

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? Eventually, I found the lone whooping crane present at the refuge by its call.

It turns out that there are new things that can be learned about extinct birds, and that even if the conclusion is obvious–the bird is gone, there is no time machine and we can’t change that–the way in which it is presented can differ as well. “Winter Sports in Northern Louisiana: Shooting Wild Pigeons.”

The results will inform a vision document to be adopted in July 2011 at a national conference to guide the NWR system for wildlife protection into the next decade and beyond. I’ve long advocated for a habitat stamp strickly for birders as some of us don’t want to be labeled as hunters.

Unfortunately for the hunters these were already all extinct, and with the introduction of cats, rats, stoats and the like the only upland game bird, the New Zealand Quail , was fast on the way out too.

It's too bad that Latimer's presentation is so obnoxious, as even when he raises what might be valid points, he makes you want to disagree with him. Again, they just want to prevent the "cruel" hunters from killing Bambi's mother. And one of that handful is the environment. First of all, does he really believe that piffle?

We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds. Cocker presents Eurasian Larks as a prime example of one of the recurring themes of the book, our culture’s tendency to cherish a bird in poetry and myth and to simultaneously exploit, even ravish, the actual bird. As they say, the relationship is complicated.

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. To answer these questions, we need to reflect on what "necessary" means in the present context.
