An interesting take on this. When we begin to think that we have wildlife

Hi Folks, Today I had a 2:30pm doctors appointment in New Windsor, Orange County, which brought me into the vicinity of the City of Newburgh. Because I was early I decided to check out a few spots before getting to the doctors' office. At the small parking area on the north side of TORCHE'S

After some searching I found the N. Shrike at 3:30 in the Fisherman's
Parking lot just past the Coast Guard station.
After talking to people in the west end of Jones Beach I believe that
there are at least 6 Snowy Owls in the Jones Beach/Point Lookout area. Some

I am sending out this message as a reminder about ethical birding, especially

Can't agree with Annie more. I have never seen specs as how many feet away is the line. What might be too close for one is not for another. For those out there that are really bent out of shape get together and define what the standard should be. Is it 75 feet, 100 feet, 150 feet? Does it
The number of Snowy Owls present, seemingly ~everywhere~ is great if
you are a birder or photographer, but I shudder to think of the
implications for that species if so many have ventured south out of
their normal range.

to this list;
Is it any better when a birder flushes a bird for something even more
ephemeral as a slightly better look.
Lets all be thankful that birding has evolved from the days of Audubon,
when it was done through the barrel of a shotgun rather than the lenses
of cameras or binos.

IMO, flushing any wildlife for something as ephemeral and trivial as a
photograph is certainly tasteless and at times harmful harassment. I mean,
does the world really and truly need the 154,456,306th "amazing close up
shot of a Snowy Owl"? Really? Most of this photography falls in the
trophy
Getting closer is exactly the answer for photographers!! Even with the longest
lens from Nikon or Canon closer is better. The real problem is knowing when you
are too close to a particular bird. I have seen both photographers and birders
worry a bird enough so that it flew. Frankly, more

Folks let's not do this AGAIN. Photogs vs birders... we've all seen offenders
on both sides. It's a pleasure reading this list to hear about the birds that
are around, but not so much the squabbles. Better done in private conversation.
Good birding!
