The egret used two different hunting strategies. It was odd to watch a single bird use such drastically different hunting styles and I really don’t have an explanation as to why.

The Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act , which went into effect seventy-nine years ago on July 1, 1934, authorized the annual issuance of what is popularly known as the Duck Stamp. In 1976, Congress changed the official name to the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp , presumably to broaden its appeal to non-hunters.

Now and then individual catfish of various species hunt nearer the surface and larger catfish such as the American Channel Cat will take a duck or other water bird. So, the modal catfish is a fish that hunts from below, can take large prey, and occasionally eats a bird. Here is a video of some Wels Catfish foraging on Pigeons.

Typically these birds hunt at night and are very shy. One of only three true fishing owls, Pel’s Fishing Owls have adapted to their unique hunting techniques in several ways.

But the honeyguides, indigobirds, and a single species of duck all do the classic cuckoo strategy (obligate interspecific brood parasitism) as well. This behavior is most common in colony nesters, since popping next door to drop off an egg is a lot easier than hunting down another nest through acres of forest or grassland. But come on.

Although if you want to see a bunch of Turkey Vultures it’s a pretty good strategy. Lest you think that modern technology robbed all the challenge from my hunt, though, I would point out that there were a couple of confounding factors. And who doesn’t want to see a bunch of Turkey Vultures?)

They’re unusual to be sure, but there’s a certain grace in the back and forth monotony of the spoonbill’s feeding strategy and there’s little like seeing a line of spoonbills tearing across a shallow mudflat seeking food you can’t possibly see. Roseate Spoonbill , photo by Julie Gidwitz.

Great Frigatebirds engage in “unihemispheric sleep” on hunting trips of six to ten days, never landing, sleeping less than an hour in a 24-hour cycle, often keeping one-half of their brain awake while the other slept. Pause while we all try to imagine what our lives would be like if we could do that.)

The chapter on Turning the Tide is happier, if much briefer, focusing on the Commission’s strategy of recognizing wetlands as a natural resource, working with the Department of Environmental Protection to de-pollute the Hackensack River, and restoring many of the wetland areas. This really happened, we created a landscape of toxic horror.

Shockingly, the Ashy-throated Parrotbill apparently is a species heavily hunted for bird fighting in Guizhou Province, China ( source ). If being hunted by evil humans was not enough, Ashy-throated Parrotbills are also hosts of the parasitic Common Cuckoo. Shame on the researchers.

Another problem we’ve seen is that sales organizations often stumble with their strategies. You might start off with a program targeting the smaller end of small businesses and then partway through you decide, “Hey, let’s go hunt for mid-market and larger enterprises.” You know who to cross-sell and upsell with your sales efforts.

I’m fairly certain that it was the deliberate strategy of the bird to kill the duck on the water and wait for it to come ashore. This bird was “tamer” than most of her species because she had become accustomed to hunting the narrow causeway for ducks and was relatively acclimated to all the vehicular traffic.

Watching them hunt is fascinating. Another strategy regularly employed by these weird raptors is that they will soar great distances, utilizing thermals in search of bush-fires. We stayed with the larger bird as it settled down to the serious business of hunting. But another reason might be that the wing flares confuse the prey.
