Hi, I was wondering if things have changed with this. Today my JeffCO need alerts have exploded with people going to chase this bird. I was not planing on chasing it out of respect for the owners, as Mark says it's their private home. Or is it OK to visit the park only? I would love to see a White-wing but I don't want to if it's not welcome. Thank you Brian Johnson Englewood CO
