Well again, I could not disagree more but I'm hoping we don't get into more 
posts that led to the previous thread being taken down. 

Some people do unfortunately do not respect birds as they should. I appreciate 
posts of owls, and agree with Lynda's point that perhaps a person should 
comment on the owl, and then give out the location in private requests. This 
owl is apparently at a public place anyway, a nature center, where I imagine 
that people were already aware of the owl long before it was posted on MOU.

As I said before, as a photographer with a telephoto, I never disturb birds and 
stay at a distance. Last year a poster was kind enough to let us know about a 
saw-whet in his yard. His eyes were closed; I waited patiently in deep snow for 
a couple of hours and then got some nice photographs. If I go to the nature 
center to see this owl, I'll do the same and wait patiently in hopes that he 
opens his eyes. 

I appreciate this list and am thankful for the folks who post locations of any 
bird, case in point the recent snowy owls. The whole reason I am on here is to 
learn of where birds are at so I can view and photograph them, and think by in 
large the people on here have been very helpful. I also support MOU as a 
paying member. 

Regards,
Fr. Paul
