I just want to appeal to both sides in this discussion. As a former active
member of the Tennessee Ornithological Society and, as one who has interacted
with Mike Butler and others of the TN Wildlife Federation (when it was still
the TN Conservation League), I would encourage both sides to realize how much
they have to gain by cooperating and recognizing the needs of each
organization. Hunters and fisherman are some of the most devoted and powerful
protectors of wildlife habitat (including bird habitat!) in the country. We
birders need to ally ourselves with them whenever possible, in my opinion.
I know nothing about the details of the negotiations to hunt sandhill cranes.
But surely the two organizations have much more common ground than not. We
birders have always managed to live with the hunting of ducks at reasonable
levels. Hopefully there is some middle ground here!
Sincerely,
Dev Joslin
