I should have said that this is taken from my car with a looong zoom so I wasn’t disturbing the family! #birds #EthicalBirding #ProtectTheCuties
A couple of young Ospreys still in the nest, panting a bit because it was hot

Super Bowl Sunday or Superb Owl Sunday? I'll stick with the owls.
Taken at an ethical distance.

Dave the photographer also shared this, showing how far away he was from the nest. #EthicalBirding

** Not my photo**
The last Snowy Owl of the season rested in an open field and drew a very respectful crowd. Photographers correcting the bad behavior of others has been a welcome change. Have a safe trip back to the Arctic, you earth angel. #EthicalBirding

See the problem here ?? This “ birder” is on PRIVATE property ( yes farmers fields are private ) trying to get closer to a pair of Whooping cranes .

No photo ever justifies this behaviour . EVER

Went on a NJ owl tour with a secret location, implying a known roost. Instead, the guide spent the whole walk blasting playback. Given this is generally inappropriate per National Audubon Society standards for owls, shouldn't that be disclosed upfront? 🚫 Thoughts? 🦉

It should, but the people who use it SWEAR that it’s fine. There’s a very well known person in Central Park that does it & has lots of people on his tours. (He does it with owls and other birds.) Even if he disclosed it, he would justify it. #ethicalbirding #birding

Western Screech Owl! A lifer bird for me that I never thought I’d actually get to see. I didn’t stay long after he woke up as he was likely getting ready to hunt. This is an endangered species and rare find, but for any species it’s important to practice #EthicalBirding #ethicalbiddphotography
