The premise

Here’s the bit.

A future version of Ken Mortimer arrives in the forest to prevent Donald the falcon from being shot. When the warning fails, the pair uses a homemade time machine to try again. Each return finds more versions of Ken caught in the same disaster, until the rescue party grows into an enormous chorus of Falconers. One trip lands them beside Abraham Lincoln splitting rails. Back in the right moment, the crowd finally confronts the hunter and appeals to her directly.

To the time machine!

I'm a hunter, and that bird is fair game.

A little extra
