The author, conservation biologist Caroline Fox, is observing the albatross’s shadow to the side of the boat. Fox notes the albatross in her “soaking-wet notebook” and watches it circle and fly back into the masking glare. Fox does an excellent job balancing these three elements, keeping the emphasis on the birds.

Bustards are very susceptible to any kind of disturbance and, naturally, hunters like to shoot. Not the strictly protected bustards, but Red Foxes, Brown Hares, Pheasants , as well as Hooded Crows and Rooks. Nevertheless, bustards don’t like presence of people, especially that noisy kind of people.

Nearly exterminated in Maine by hunters in the 1800‘s, the charismatic, orange-beaked little puffins nested only on one other state island until Dr. Kress painstakingly – and groundbreakingly – lured them back to nest on Eastern Egg Rock in 1977.

She's been governor of Alaska for about two years, a world of its own with about half a million people, half of which may be subsistence hunters for all I know.

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.

In the latter case, there’s no linguistic alternative to the vulture while in the first case, depending on your level of frustration, alternatives range (in the order of mild anger to disgust) from fox to cuckoo and hangman.

Conversely, many American hunters refer to the gray/grey bird as the Hun, a shortened version of Hungarian, for Hungary was the source of many of the birds introduced to the Americas.

In the case of fox hunting (a true bloodsport), dogs are domesticated animals that are killing, not for food, but for sport. The thrill of the hunt, the smell and sounds of the desert in the early morning, the ability to see a finely-tuned hunter up close. My reasons for this are as follows: 1.
