Management
populations of raptors (birds of prey)
had been affected in the past by
factors that included indiscriminate
hunting. Raptors are not game
species and cannot be legally hunted
in Ontario. However, farmers are
allowed to humanely kill them if they
are a threat to their livestock. This
does not apply to species designated
as endangered, such as the eagles and
the peregrine falcon.
For many years when backyard
farm flocks were common, raptors
were often viewed as a threat and
killed, both legally and illegally.
This persecution corresponded with
loss of habitat and use of pesticides
such as DDT that further threatened
their survival. In any case, it is nice
to see some of these species showing
signs of recovery. Just a few days ago
I enjoyed watching four bald eagles
for a few minutes near Clinton.
Over the past few years eagles have
been commonly sighted along the
Maitland River during the winter
months.°
