[obol] birder ethics

[Andrew Marshall]

Hi Folks,
I for one am a person who has not gone to see the GREAT GREY OWL or the FALCATED DUCK and I generally do not go off to see the other birds that arrive out of the blue.  Don't get me wrong, I would dearly love to see either of these birds, along with the Gyrfalcon and others... but rather then going off and bothering the birds, bothering the neighbours and wasting gas... I will wait until either they come and see me, they have wings, they can fly... maybe I will get lucky, OR, until I am in a place already and they show up on thier own.

This is NOT trophy hunting folks... though from the sound of it, some of you lot sure make it seem like it is.  

all the best
Andrew
