That summer of 1938, when he was ten years old, Cade read of two brothers, Frank and John Craighead, who wrote of their experiences with falcons in National Geographic. He had stalked the nest for days, waiting for just the right time when she would be on the verge of fledging, then took her into his care. I knew no falconers.

Maybe author Sy Montgomery is right when she says that “birdwatchers often look down on falconry,” and maybe not. Harris’s are also, according to Cowan, smarter than other hawks; they hunt in packs and, for that reason, may welcome humans as hunting partners more so than other raptors. We serve them.”.

The Shoebill serves as the symbol of the magnificent wildlife experiences Uganda offers visitors, which may seem a bit odd. That honor goes to the Gray-crowned Crane , a very sexy species in its own right. Having finally seen this iconic species, I can assure you that the experience wildly exceeds expectations.

Yet, one other hunting attempt in the same area I do remember. A female Mallard was running on the water right out of the thickets, flapping its wing frantically. The next memorable hunt came from winter 2006/07. It took place eight years later, in November 2004 by the bank of the Veliko Ratno Island.

Larry starts us off right with an owl that makes birders drool: I was able to see and photograph many great birds in 2014 but my Best Bird of the Year would have to be the Great Gray Owl , the largest Strix in North America. The experience, the place, and the bird combine to make this my BBOTY. Below are our Best Birds of the Year.

When you think about it, this is pretty remarkable; even with all the excellent bird photographers available, it must have taken hundreds of hours to locate good quality photographs in which the bird looks towards the right. King Eider to the left, Common Eider to the right. Swainson’s Thrush opposite Gray-cheeked Thrush.
