Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community.

Please RT to raise awareness and follow us to help end this cruelty for good.

Cerulean Warbler Setophaga cerulea, southern Ohio April/May 2024. A stunning bird and one of my main targets on that trip.

Cliff Swallow, Minesing May 2024. Trying to get through my photos from earlier this year. We came across a large colony of these birds nesting under a road bridge. Very difficult to photograph in flight so most of the hundreds of photos I took ended up in the trash.

Let’s keep pushing!! 🦡 help us reach 25,000 by the end of today!

Cottesmore thugs are the focus of todays b(advent) post.

When hunts get desperate, they pay people to keep Sabs away (it doesn't work)

Northern Parula Setophaga americana, southern Ohio. May/June 2024.

The truth about the shooting industry: 40M birds bred to die, wildlife persecuted, ecosystems wrecked—all for profit and entertainment. How can this still be legal? Ban bird shooting NOW.

Millions of non-native pheasants, bred in appalling conditions, are dumped into the countryside just to be shot. This isn’t conservation; it’s carnage. The shooting industry must be held accountable!

Prairie Warbler Setophaga discolor, southern Ohio April/May 2024

Hooded Warbler Setophaga citrina, southern Ohio April/May 2024.

A graphic with a screenshot of the parliament petition's website showing over 19,000 signatures on a petition.

Trail hunting is a sham.

It’s time for a ban on trail hunting and to end this nonsense for good.

REPOST if you agree!

Yellow-throated Warbler Setophaga dominica, southern Ohio, April/May 2024. A beautifully marked warbler...
