Really? What kind of sick mind comes up with this kind of stunt? And how stupid do you have to be to release your documented crime to the media?

Someone should spray paint him and say they found a new species.

Seems like a silly prank where nothing and no one got hurt. Unless you count that one dude that hit one with his car. Was he arrested, too?

"Vehicular Hawkslaughter." That's where the world is heading...

Not pun-tastic enough!

I doubt he'd get much of any sentence, aside from basic animal cruelty? His targeted birds weren't endangered, so no real protections...

Spray paint him different colors, each day, for a year.

Think new Canon lenses are overpriced? Lots (and lots) of data will set you free!

I think that's his cousin. Related species but not identical.

He used a non-toxic, washable paint. What's the problem?
I bet that paint also helps with the aerodynamics making the birds more stable during flight.

The kind of idiots that lack attention, Wow that's like all those stupid kids posting videos of them knocking down stuff in grocery stores or libraries on youtube and what not, why post and tell the world of your crime. LOL they have what's right coming to them, it's called Karma and its a B!TCH!!!

It's heartwarming to think that he's a pioneering aerodynamics engineer instead of a flaming dooshbag.

Paris Hilton paints her dog pink. I don't see much coming from it. I kinda laughed that the farmer was messing with the birders with the wood.
