Traditionally, of course, falcons have been classified with other diurnal raptors, parrots have been positioned between doves and cuckoos, and seriemas have been lumped with cranes, rails, and other birds in the order Gruiformes. Seriemas are long-legged terrestrial hunters related to extinct terror birds (phorusrhacids).

Gray Jays have long been more than willing to scarf down the offal that remains when hunters process a carcass so it is little wonder that they have adapted their foraging habits to include whatever scraps picnickers are willing to share. The bold gray-and-white birds know what humans are good for and that is as a source of food!

It’s natural to encounter resistance which, of course, we have. They want, especially, to distinguish their role as non-hunting conservationists, without in any way competing or detracting from the existing heritage — a way to work in confluence, while also generating the community passions that the Duck Stamp does for hunters.

These conditions offered easy access to hunters in a habitat where a bird as large as a Guan would have little chances to hide or scape. It is correct, of course, to think of extinction this way during the Holocene Extinction, which we are living through right now. It seems we have a second chance to keep this majestic bird among us.

Of course, by the time I get to them just about every other big lister in the state has seen them two or three times. That’s a skill as much as recognizing vagrant peeps or putting a name to non-vocalizing Empids, and one under-rated by some would-be vagrant hunters.

Of course, you might just refer to this bird as a bottom feeder, but that might lead to misunderstandings, as this term has another meaning, “someone who occupies or tries to advance from the lowest position in society, politics, business, etc., by taking advantage of the misfortunes or dregs of others.” ” ( source ).

This is also why you very rarely find a photo of a giraffe on top of one of these posts – the other reason of course being that a giraffe photo would be relatively pointless in a birding blog.
