My post last week where I defended game hunting as a conservation tool has, unaccountably, encountered a certain amount of push back. Who would have thought that a post defending hunting game in general would have not been universally acclaimed? I will address two of them in the new year, namely, “Is hunting moral at all?”

I have long thought that the Cape May Warbler should have its common name changed to match its scientific name, Setophaga tigrina , because “ Tiger Warbler ” is a much cooler name. It was hard to keep up with the rapid movements of the Cape May Warbler as it hunted down its invertebrate prey but I managed some decent shots.

In Singapore, Common Redshanks mostly drink Tiger Beer. Lesser Whistling Ducks are “not threatened by hunting as they are not considered good to eat” ( Wikipedia ). I agree that the throat is white. They despise Chardonnay, as anyone (except Spotted Redshanks) should. Lucky ducks.

As she continued her monologue about these cats, the Wildcat cautiously walked in our direction, never taking its eyes off of us, stiff-legged, ears motionless, striped like a standard “tiger” domestic cat but entirely in grays. He also had tigers, cougars, and some other animals. That was one of his cats.

Pity, it is the sleeping hours and not the hunting (morning/evening), but at least they are not forced to socialise with people all day.

Great horneds are known as the “Tiger of the Woods&# because they’ll hunt anything and they are good at it, but they are slow and stealthy. But what is really mind-bending to me is that one of the Great Horned Owls in this nesting pair is very adept at catching small, nimble birds.
