In the outfield, I was entertained by the mechanical song and flight antics of a choice meadow bird, I can still recall my best friend’s mom telling me, “Patrick, don’t go watching those Bobolinks during the game!” Buff-fronted Quail-Dove – Any quail-dove species is a prize. We had one in the Arenal area.

Nowhere else in Africa do the preconceived ideas of the continent really exist in such living detail; tall, red-robed Maasai herding their skinny cattle, endless grasslands studded with flat-topped Acacia trees and grazed by herds of zebras and wildebeest, and dramatic volcanic calderas brimming with big game and fierce predators!

Accusations were leveled, assumptions were made, direct questions went unanswered, and there was no monitor to call the room to order.

There was a lot of hunting for Bald Eagles—it is traditionally a game species. Yes, they have been an endangered species for as long as most of us can recall, but remember, they were traditionally a hunted species. The Bald Eagle has the potential to be the Holy Grail of game birds.

There are the endemics, which are odd in their own way, and then there introduced species, which are so varied in their type and origin that you get the feeling you’ve arrived at the aftermath of a small zoo that escaped. What is surprising is quite how many species did end up here, and how economically unimportant they were.

No buying invasive fish from the pet store and tossing them into a pond, where they will grow into behemoths and devour the native species. No balloons.

Why put additional pressure on a recovering species? State game departments have a mandate to serve all the citizens of their state, not just the ones with guns. Our best studies show one in three pairs of nesting cranes successfully producing one fledgling. Remember, they were hunted nearly to extinction in the East before.
