• W2614312351 abstract "{Editorial Note: Occasionally an article in the public domain-such as this opinion printed in the Las Vegas Review Journal-is of great interest most of us who read Watchbird. The following article reflects one learned persons opinion of big government's attitude. You may agree or not. SD.} Just when you thought the government had managed regulate everything it could, federal bureaucrats set out prove you wrong. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service warned ranchers that they could be prosecuted for an endangered species if one kind of wild bird lays an egg in the nest of another kind. According the Endangered Species Act means harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture or collect or attempt engage in any such conduct and is punishable with penalties as high as $50,000 and jail terms of up a year. The birds in question in this instance are the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher and the Brown-headed Cowbird. The flycatcher, a federally endangered species, typically nests in willows and other trees along river banks in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and southern parts of California, Nevada and Utah. According the wildlife service, this flycatcher can be distinguished from other non-endangered subspecies of willow flycatchers because, Rather than the crisp, sneezy 'fitz-bew' of the northerly subspecies, (it) sings a more protracted, slurred 'fitz-za-bew,' with a burry 'bew' syllable. The cowbird is an unusual but extremely common bird which is found across the country, in circumstances ranging from Western ranches my own little patch of suburbia in Virginia. Cowbirds are unusual because rather than build a nest, lay eggs and rear their young like other birds, cowbirds sneak into other birds' nests, push out an egg and replace it with an egg of their own. That is the extent of cowbird parenting. The incubation period of a cowbird egg is 10 days, so it usually hatches before its unfortunate foster siblings do. The cowbird chick typically dominates the nest, taking most if not all the food and even pushing the other baby birds out. Cowbirds are known parasitize the nests of the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, which is not only bad news for the endangered flycatcher but also for cowboys. This March, Jennifer Fowler-Propst of the Fish and Wildlife Service sent a memorandum the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation warning, to avoid the likelihood of adverse effects (on the flycatcher) in the form of a take, the Service strongly recommends that livestock be removed from (flycatcher) areas by April 15 or as soon as possible thereafter. The penalty would be applied individuals who hold a permit graze on lands administered by the Bureau of Reclamation which, like other federal land holding agencies, allowed private parties graze by permit. The ranchers affected by this memorandum, although appealing the wildlife service's actions, have pulled out. The theory behind the wildlife service's action is that cowbirds follow cows, which go near flycatcher nests. The cowbirds then deposit eggs in the nest. The eggs then hatch and subsequently a flycatcher's offspring. According Bill Moore with New Mexico's Department of Agriculture, one problem with the service's reasoning is that it has no data substantiate a relationship between brownheaded cowbird parasitism rates and range livestock grazing. Yet, even if the service had data proving the association, there is a more profound problem: Fish and wildlife officials are threatening bring charges against private parties because a species of native wildlife continues do exactly what it always done. Before the demise of buffalo, the cowbird used be known as the buffalo bird. It is likely that in order for the buffalo bird follow the ever-roaming buffalo herds, it had parasitize other birds' nests rather than building its own. This is no new phenomenon. However, what is extraordinary and radical is the idea that a private party should be responsible for damage done by wildlife owned by government, which is, in a well-established area of law, not responsible for wildlife damage itself. If one didn't know better, it would appear that wildlife service's proscriptions for protecting the flycatcher are designed destroy ranching. The agency some political cover as it can claim it was forced take action in response legal pressure from a group called the Forest Guardians. The Forest Guardians are a New Mexicobased group making a hobby of filing notice of intent sue ranchers under the Endangered Species Act. In meetings with affected parties the Forest Guardians stated that a buffer zone with a 12-mile radius is needed between cattle and flycatcher nests. The forest service taken the more reasonable position that a 5-mile cattle free buffer zone around nests is needed from April through September." @default.
