As it was, we exposed the Screech Owl to predation by a Great-horned. I'm always amazed at how much credit people give themselves. I'm sorry, but this is extremely irritating. If I'm not mistaken, the MOU-listserve is about sharing information. Call me naive, but I believe mostbirders understand and have some ethics. It is a past-time or passion that is near and dear to a lot of heartsand no one I've ever met birding, would ever jeopardize their well-being. Just my two cents worth.
