Peter,
These are good thoughts. I don't wish to belabor anything but I was in the
vicinity when the homeowner mentioned in Dave Leatherman's original post
was talking to the group. I've been at this particular road many times
(over 200 eBird checklists submitted) and am pretty familiar with
Diana,
Good thought to include CPW's recommendations in this conversation. I will
add that those recommendations were updated in 2020, and the new distance

cameras disturbing others there to "just" bird . One thing I would mention
however regarding your comment about the group being composed of
Everybody is getting really worked up over this. I’m both a birder and a
photographer. I have a nice pair of binoculars, a nice scope AND I shoot
with a 600mm lens. Sometimes, in the birding community, people may have
antagonist feelings toward photographers and at times and use the word “big
Well said Eric!
The objection that has been raised is to the large groups carvaning to the
area and converging on a sighting location. My experience on Old St. Vrain
is very similar to Eric's. I have encountered a "large group" only a couple
of times and then only for a few minutes. Others may
Three of us were surprised to see the Sedge Wren yesterday 3/3 at the same
spot it was originally found by Cole Sage in January. S Platte Park Area, W
side of river about 1/3 mile N of the parking area. (39.5710642,
-105.0407814) We took a leisurely stroll around the lakes in 60 degree
Well said, Robin! I fit in the photographer-birder group and shoot with a
