Killdeer are a Protected Species in Ontario, as are most shorebirds, including those traditionally hunted such as the Eskimo curlew. Snipe and woodcock are the most notable exceptions, these may be hunted under a migratory bird permit. The Ontario MNR has been laxidasically studying the feasibility and regulations to be implemented in reinstituting the Sandhill crane hunt... but this talk has gone on for years... who knows when or if, it will get done.
 
You're confusing federal migratory birds with provincial hunting regulations. The Ontario government is not obligated to tell you that you cant hunt them as the Federal government already tells you cant.

Why, may I ask, are you looking for such a quick answer......???????
 
Well working on construction sites with heavy equipment we have to put Snow fence around killdeer Nest to protect them 10 foot barrier all the way around the nest.

A Sandhill Crane hunt will never see the light of day in Liberal Ontari-owe. The political backlash would be more than the average politician could take.

I don't agree... they have been receiving significant pressure from the agriculture sector, particularly on Manitoulin Island where a controlled hunt is very feasible.

Robins are worse... especially if you have a mating song tree outside your bedroom window.

I dunno...after enduring winters that refuse to let go, last for 6 months and with frequent returns of the snow and ice...I yearn for the siren song of the Robin. But, in all seriousness, I rather enjoy the morning songbird chorus.

Not so endearing when you work steady nightshifts...
 
Crows, Magpies, Starlings, English Sparrows and Pigeons are the only species not protected under the Migratory Birds Act.
Unless a species is put into the regulations it is protected.

Same too. I used to love waking up as a kid, to the killdeer out in the back.

Poor robins aren't liking this late snow we've been getting. It's almost time to start clearing out the damn grackles again for them.
