Loved Stuart and David's comments. I'm in Vancouver, BC, and have never seen a Red-breasted Goose. I grew up in farm country and feel empathy for both the farmers and the birds. Met a Saker Falcon bred in captivity (mixed feelings about that) a couple of weeks ago that is trained to fly around the airport to keep birds away from airplane flight paths. His trainer told me he has never actually had to kill a bird. Loved all the photos but was drawn to the Teal Duck as we only see them rarely here.

I have seen them many times but only in waterfowl collections. I would give my eye teeth (whatever they are) to see them in the wild. Here is the challenge, Phil. Organize a trip to Siberia in the spring to see them on their breeding grounds, and I will sign up for it. As the leader you will obviously be solicitous as to my every whim and ensure at all costs that I have a wonderful time. I am a simple man, as long as my Camembert is at room temperature, the crackers unbroken, and the wine of the very finest vintage, all will be well.David M.

Re ...Hi Phil thanks for explanation about shooters. Re your question on my blog today: Stewart (Paying ready attention blog) also asked what a servitude is. I wrote a post about it but cannot find it! <br /><br />"A servitude is a registered right that a person has over the immovable property of another. It allows the holder of the servitude to do something with the other person’s property, which may infringe upon the rights of the owner of that property. An example is the right of way to travel over a section of the other person’s property in order to reach your own property. Servitudes are very common mainly with farms and smallholdings."

Interesting post about the farmers vs birds/birders. What is a shooter? Is that someone wielding a gun or a camera? Sorry, I need to ask...Farmers' suffer here with thousands of quealea and finches which ruin crops. But then again, the natural predators - one being the Lanner Falcon - have been decreased by lack of habitation and poisoning. I need to get out there and LOOK for birds again.
