10,000 Birds

In the 19th- and early 20th-centuries, shorebirds were killed outright for their meat, a trade that only ended with the passage of federal legislation (which still excepts game birds such as woodcock and snipe). I first got a glimpse of it back in August 2023, when Kevin did a presentation at the Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival.

The tiercels (young Peregrines) must deal with Golden Eagles, Ravens, adult Peregrines, and foxes; they must also learn to navigate the skies and make their own kills, luckily these skills appear to be innately learned. Coyotes took carrion from young Condors and then killed the weakest ones. It’s not easy.
