...thanks to my friends...

My sincere thanks to all of my friends for your compassion and empathy. All of my life, I have tried to avoid violence and barbarism of all sorts. I am researching the issue of sports hunting a little each day. It has certainly been agonizing and time consuming. I have the impression that Americans know little of the situation. I feel compelled to do my part even if I am only tilting windmills. Please forgive my unpleasant captions and do not read them if they disturb you.

This shot was taken in mid summer. I see almost no ducks in this area. The coots are also UNFAIR game.

dear Sharon,
I give each year some money to the protection of the birds.This year an particular effort for the Little birds will be done,their number reduces each year so dramatically in France(agriculture).
I like to observe the ducks the most common as these ones...

Yes, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this tragic situation. We must all hope that decency, compassion and plain old common sense will prevail some day. Keep making a record of what you see in this place. It may become important.

Thank you for sharing. ~V~

I realize in some places there is a need for hunting but for the rest I think target practice should suffice.
You and your camera are pointed in the right direction.
