Birders,                                                                        
                           We have all heard of farmers that have lost a cow or 
horse to hunters who don't know the difference between a deer or  livestock, 
painting the word "cow", "horse", etc. on their animal to prevent another one 
being needlessly shot by a careless or ignorant hunter.  I can't quite imagine 
how the word "CRANE" could be put on the side of a Whooper but it is food for 
thought.  Maybe something very reflective would work.  Bigger fines, manditory 
jail time, loss of a hunting license forever might be incentives for hunters to 
think again before shooting whatever moves!
There should be uncomfortable consequences.
