Did you see the picture I posted of these nutjobs holding a candlelight vigil? Did you know that one of them was arrested for physically threatening Zahn's 14 year-old son? These are not normal people, and this is not birding. It is artificially controlled. Redtails are not natural clif-dwellers like peregrines. The Audobon society runs birding events in Central Park all the time and north of the city. Hundreds of people see redtails and more exoctic species in their natural enviornment there. What you have in this situation is a bunch of lazy liberals who were taken in by a documentary, but are too lazy to to actually go where they can see the birds in thier natural enviornment. Even though retails are as easy to find as sparrows once you get 45 minutes north of the city. Love nature? Unless you have a gem like Central Park, you need to LEAVE THE CITY to find it. Plus there's a lot of good old fashioned class jealousy thrown in for good measure.
It appears you have a particular dislike of red-tails.
Really? Did you take the time to read my inquiries of their prey and hunting behavior? Didn't think so.
I read every entry in the thread. I really don't know why you're peeved about the Pale Male situation, or why you're taking the time to write about it. I guess we're on different wavelengths. Maybe we can understand each other on another topic some other time. Have a great day! And, enjoy birding.
