Roughly 600 milesoff the coast of mainland Ecuador, conservation biologist Dee Boersma cruised in an inflatable Zodiac through the blue waters surrounding Bartolomé Island, a small part of the Pacific Ocean archipelago known as the Galápagos Islands. She was joined by several other scientists, all of whom scanned the shoreline for an elusive black-and-white seabird. Standing about a foot and a half tall, Galápagos penguins are the rarest and among the smallest penguins in the world.

The killing games were coming to an end. At the turn of the 20th century fewer sportsmen were participating in bygone Christmas Day “side hunts,” competitions in which hunters would split into teams and set out on a “cheerful mission of killing practically everything in fur or feathers that crossed their path,” as ornithologist and editor Frank Chapman described in the pages of Bird-Lore, the precursor to Audubon magazine.
