大约100年前,美国波士顿一些大量捕杀过鸟类的“罪人”翻然悔悟,决心痛改前非,于是成立了“奥特朋鸟类保护协会”。他们当中有著名鸟学家威廉·布鲁斯特,他曾捕杀过成千上万只鸟而从未感到良心上的不安。而著名自然保护主义者乔治·麦凯此前一次就射杀243只黑鸭,还常常捕捉蓝鸟、蜂鸟、黄鹂和模仿鸟,以此作为一种健身运动。这个组织的发起人是哈丽雅特·海明威,多年来她一直喜欢用鸟类的羽毛作为帽子的装饰。海明威夫人是波士顿的一位名门闺秀。她心地善良,在当地是个举足轻重的人物,但也从未因为戴有羽毛饰物的帽子而内疚。1896年1月的一天,她被一篇关于猎人捣毁一个苍鹭巢的报道深深触动 About 100 years ago, some “sinners” who massacred birds in Boston in the United States turned their backs on repentance and determined to make mistakes before setting up the “Association of the Aote Pendants”.

One day in January 1896, she was deeply touched by a story about hunters smashing a heron’s nest
