So, yes, there’s plenty enough information about migration in the book to justify the subtitle. The harshest law of all, one more draconian than any human legislature could enact, is the law of unintended consequences. Kaufman knows that duck hunters can be ardent, loving conservationists, too. by Kenn Kaufman.

For being a feminist with an opinion on comic books, or games. The story with Cecil was something of an exception, but the universe didn’t disappoint and sure enough the latest hunter outrage story today is, predictably, about a woman hunter.

Long story short, the only way I could figure out securing a cabin for myself and my husband, Erik, was to book a trip with Rockjumper, a birding tour company based in South Africa and a supporter of Birdlife South Africa. It has had very few humans walk its soil and who have had little impact to this otherwise pristine nature.

The few bird books I was given as a kid that described it made it sound horrible: birds are kept in closets in complete darkness, they are starved to bond them to their masters, they never know true freedom again. I haven’t always had such a high opinion of falconers. Falconers can trap any bird of prey any time they want.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes?
