Just recently two really rare species were seen in our area, Whooper
Swan and Eurasian Kestrel both have gone and vanished into thin air.
Does this show how lacking we are at finding rare birds, the Kestrel I
can accept it's small but the Whooper Swans how can we lose these, where
could they have gone. I know we found them once but why not twice are
we not looking properly, are we that bad that we could let these birds
disappear. Maybe there's another answer the Whooper's went back to their
waterfowl collection home in Kamloops anf the Eurasian Kestrel went back
to its cage with it's falconer handler in Washington state? I wonder
