In our quest for rare birds to add to our lists, are we pushing too hard? Is this what has become of our use of social media? This single post has found its way to the personal address of a homeowner. I am so regretful for the lengths that some of us have gone to capture the unusual bird in the unusual setting. This practice just doesn't feel morally considerate of both the bird populations and the human code of conduct. A single photo and observations of this fascinating find would have sufficed.
I hope someone else is feeling this concern, Scott Varney Salem, NY Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 26, 2017, at 10:02 AM, zach schwartz-weinstein zac...@gmail.com > [Northern_NY_Birds] <northern_ny_bi...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > Nick has clarified on Facebook that this photo was taken yesterday.
