Apparently the illegal killing of raptors is not limited to poachers in Cypress; a professional golfer in the U.S. is now getting in on the act. Note to Mr. Isenhour: I don’t care if there is a golf term “hitting a birdie;” this isn’t what it means. Hope you get a nice cellmate.

Peace and good bird watching.
