No. Not the answer. That would be a throwback to two generations ago when there was an "old boys network" and everyone else was locked out. Bob LewisSleepy Hollow NY

Why is the solution always to punish the good birders who only want to enjoy looking at these rare birds? Why not punishing the misbehaving birders/photographers? If you see someone breaking the law by harassing a migratory bird or stepping on restricted area to get closer to it, call the police and photograph them being arrested. Then post their photo on social media and let it be a lesson to all the misbehaving birders. This collective punishment doesn’t help any bird or birder.

Unfortunately the solution may be to no longer post birds to the list until after they’re gone.
