At Point Lookout we enjoyed Horned Grebes in close (though I butchered my attempts to get good digiscoped shots) and more American Oystercatchers on a jetty. After a brief discussion we decided to take the short drive over to Point Lookout to look for the Harlequin Ducks that have been delighting birders of late.

I’ll copy the whole thing here in case I butcher it: What we need do is study the wing formulae of the two birds. It requires a good look at the bird’s wings, which isn’t too much to ask considering the lazy slow flaps both crows employ to get from one place to another.

Few of us, comparatively, care to murder birds in "sport," and still fewer to cut up living animals in the supposed interests of "science," but we have all been taught to regard flesh-food as a necessity, and it is a matter, at first, of some effort and self-denial to rid ourselves of complicity in butchering.

Enough hand-wringing, enough taking butchered birds to exhausted, emotionally drained wildlife rehabilitators. Outdoor/feral cat people are bullies who prey on people unable to fight back, just as their cats do with birds. It’s time for this to end. How can we get this idea going? Suggestions are welcome.

Pat Fish was the creative force behind a band called Jazz Butcher – he died in October last year.

Butcher (no joke) from Montana: " “No one has to send a horse to a processing plant. Butcher plainly speaks of the use of horses and that those not usable perhaps should be killed.
