The continuing presence of smiling people with fancy optics standing around for long periods has unsettled some residents and created friction with observers. For the sake of the homeowners and the positive reputation of our birding community, consider skipping the Titmouse. There will be another one. If you do report the Tufted Titmouse, please use the newly created hot spot. If you have existing checklists, please consider merging with the new hotspot.
