BOSS GOBBLERS - GO TO THE BIRDS.
By: Allen “horntagger” Morris
February 9th
this year the Bootheel Boss Gobblers Chapter of the National Wild Turkey
Federation had their eighteenth annual super-fund banquet in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri. In which the banquet went to the birds, the birds of prey that
is.
The speaker
for the event was the founder of The World Bird Sanctuary, ornithologist
Walter C. Crawford Jr. who is recognized around the world for his leadership
in avian scientific studies, education, reintroduction of endangered species,
habitat management and wildlife rescue.
Today, he directs
on of North America’s largest and most respected sanctuaries concerned
with the conservation of bird species worldwide. World Bird Sanctuary emphasis
on preserving birds of prey (raptors) and parrots.
They brought
in and flew many types of birds of prey within inches of and over 500 in
attendance at the banquet. With a Barn Owl flying silently with inches
of my head.
With the comments
from Mr. Crawford praising the National Wild Turkey Federation and the
Wild Turkey Hunters for the great contributions to the reintroduction of
the Wild Turkey in the United States. Along with learning a few new things,
it was one the best banquets and seminars I have attended.
