Wild birds for sale

There is currently a conversation going on among Oregon birders about whether or not wild birds are likely to be caught in Mexico and carried across the border into the U.S., such as the Cardinals that have been showing up in Oregon in the past year or so. That reminded me of the time I bought a Northern Mockingbird from a seller beside a highway in northern Mexico, and then released it a few miles farther along my way. I should have done the same for this Harris's Hawk that was also for sale there, but at the time I thought I couldn't afford it.

That's pretty strange, but I'm sure there's a point to it. Why not post that along with what's going on in Oregon.
