It is illegal for any person to take, possess, transport, sell, or purchase them or their parts, such as feathers, nests, or eggs, without a permit.

The interwebs, aside from being a haven for cat videos, is a great place to learn. Don’t even bring up using tapes on endangered species. It’s illegal, it disturbs birds, and if you do admit to doing this, you are only going to encourage others to make the same mistake. Listen to the people.

Additionally, I learnt that Barred Owls are more likely than most North American owl species to be active during the day. And, it goes without saying, NEVER play tape in National Wildlife Refuges or National Parks, where the practice is illegal. I couldn’t believe what we had just witnessed and recorded for posterity.

The simple answer is monetary gain, there is a global black market for these items, regardless of the species’ vulnerability for extinction. Some of this adventure is captured by Mullin on video (he was masquerading as a National Geographic photographer), a part of which can be seen on YouTube.

The male of the species will rattle off up to 200 songs, his repertoire size varying geographically, with the western males having considerably larger repertoires than eastern males 1.

The name Peregrine means “wanderer,” and northern-nesting Peregrines are among North America’s long-distance migratory species, some moving 25,000 kilometers every year.

In fact, all of the images of Scarlet Macaws in this post are of the birds that live at Copan Archeological Park, birds that were seized at the border before they could be illegally exported.* If it weren’t such a horrible thing to do one might almost understand why folks would want to poach and cage Scarlet Macaws. Wicked, right?
