Super Bowl Sunday or Superb Owl Sunday? I'll stick with the owls.

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

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

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
