Some Sad News...
Sole survivor Class of 2006 Whooper #615 was found dead. Cause of death is unknown with no apparent signs of predation, so it's being sent to necropsy for analysis. And then this morning I found a story on BBC News about spring bird hunting in Malta. Truly their motto must be "if it flies it dies." Fair warning – this is a very despicable and depressing story that includes some very sad photographs of protected migratory birds that were shot.

Very sad news. I wonder if #615 died of a broken heart, being the sole survivor. Regarding Malta, as you probably are aware, turkey hunting season has been going on since April 11th, doesn't end until May 20th, it would be hard to keep our hunters under surveillance as to what they are actually killing in the woods. I think hunting in general uproots the behavior patterns and migration of our wildlife.
