It's that time of year again. Owls and other raptors are already nesting and more and more other species will be soon too. We've put up a friendly reminder and guide for folks about reporting sensitive species to Vermont eBird and for everyone to remember and review the ABA birding ethics document. Many of us carry around handy little devices for photographs and to play sounds and we all need to keep in mind the potential to cause birds stress and harm if we don't use them properly. Check out the article on Vermont eBird at
http://ebird.org/content/vt/news/guidelines-for-reporting-sensitive-species/ and have a super fun, productive, safe and consciencious time birding this spring. Thanks for eBirding folks!
