Please always consider the sensitivity of birds, nearby humans, and the environment.

 

Don't lie & Den'y to try to cover up your bird listing misdeeds & mistakes. Locals who do are a continuing disgrace -- like the occupiers of Malheur and the White House. Don't trespass on Yakama land while chasing owls around in a field; don't trespass on Yakama Nation closed lands; don't take credit for others' finds; don't trespass on Priest Rapids Dam or on Simon Martinez private property or closed areas in the Yakima Training Center military area; don't claim a Red-necked Phalarope is a Red Phalarope; don't illegally harass Spotted Owls or quiz bird watchers about a rare bird sighting on your (invalid) Big Day; don't change your eBird locations to try to cover up your trespassing; don't try to get others to adopt or to excuse your illegal and unethical bird listing practices, or to believe your lies.

 

Please read, PRACTICE, and promote the ABA Code of Birding Ethics.
