Birders These are challenging times for everyone, many Ontbirds still want to hear of rare, unusual or significant bird activity. As such Ontbirds has decided to modify our posting guidelines, for the duration of Covid-19 public emergency we no longer demand directions with every post. If a bird can be viewed will maintaining strict physical distancing including safe parking and access, directions may be included. If there is any doubt about public safety that should be stated and directions NOT included.
I do not have the ability to remove dangerous posts. For the duration of the emergency I will be reviewing all posts before release to the list. If there are concerns I will work with the observer to resolve them. Stay safe, stay informed and continue to observe the 2 meter social distancing. Car pooling, sharing of binoculars and scopes probably not great ideas.
