Northern Goshawk Killed In Maryland

In June of this year, some hunter shot and killed the female of the last mating pair of Northern Goshawks in Maryland. The nest was left with three chicks, who died, because they could not fend for themselves. The bird was found,  shot with pellets.

Garrett County is one of the last places in Maryland with enough forest to appeal to such a bird. Why do hunters shoot at endangered or extinct species, anyway? Here's the story.
