My first thought too.

The problem with that is that it's not particularly rare -- it's just not native to
the Americas. One article I found states "Countries to the immediate east and south
east of Britain, including Belgium, Holland and particularly Denmark, played host to
massive numbers of these enchanting falcons. Migratory movements of red footed
falcons may extend over many weeks." Note the term "massive numbers".

How about Crows. In the US they used to be (and still are) pests, now
they are protected and there is a hunting season thanks to the
diplomats and Mexico.
