The wanton slaughter of birds resulted in significant declines. William Hornaday estimated that the bird population had declined by about 46 percent in twenty-six states between 1883 and 1898 (Doughty 1975: 82). However, most of the male conservationists of the time were slow to recognize the extent to which their own actions as sport hunters and collectors depleted wildlife stocks. For instance, John James Audubon ranted against eg- gers and market hunters, referring to them as “the pest of the feathered tribes,” yet Audubon admitted to shooting hundreds of red-winged starlings (also known as marsh blackbirds) one afternoon even though he did not think they were very appetizing. He also described shooting Canada geese until the “number of geese obtained would seem . . . so very large that . . . [I] shall not specify it”
