I saw the Carolina Wren on Sunday in Wild River State Park. Sorry for the late
post.
Be warned, Google Maps will wrongly send you into Wisconsin. Wild River State
Park is in Minnesota. Get there by driving East on 95 from I35, follow the
signs.

Just when I thought I had this Snowy Owl thing figured out and cautioned owl
seekers in yesterday's post that the owls had moved on, I find another one at
9:00 AM. I still do believe that the three most recent owls have headed out as
this new owl is a nearly pure white adult male. This is
I too noticed that when I arrived there was a crowd right in front of the owl
which is not perched very high in the tree and was therefore vulnerable. Flash
pictures were being taken and the owl did seem to wake up a few times. It did
not seem to be particularly distressed but it did make me a
Hey all-
This sounds unfortunate. It's worth pointing out that different species
have different behaviors designed for dealing with predators and stress. An
owl that is not moving and looking okay to us may be suffering from high
levels of stress hormones that we as humans wouldn't anticipate.
Hi everyone,
Just a quick update. I did not re-find the pintail or the Hooded Mergansers
at Wells Lake tonight but there were two Ruddy Ducks present. Conditions were
terrible with heavy rain and some wind so I may have just overlooked them.

post owl locations because it will lure to many people and also put the owl at
risk by overly aggressive people with cameras. I was called out be some on the
listserv for being selfish and mean because I was asking
An eagerness to gloat has never been a very appealing personality
trait in my opinion.
While I agree that we should continue to encourage respect for the
birds and continue to remind people not to disturb them, I think it is
a mistake to simply stop reporting their locations. For every one owl

Well again, I could not disagree more but I'm hoping we don't get into more
posts that led to the previous thread being taken down.
Some people do unfortunately do not respect birds as they should. I appreciate
posts of owls, and agree with Lynda's point that perhaps a person should

It is not the fault of the listserv monitors. This is not a moderated
listserv. It is entirely the fault of those who are not behaving properly.
Also reporting exact locations of owls was discouraged, bit not prohibited
as I recall.
Here is what I think should be done if you come across birders
As someone who has lived with an Eastern Screech-Owl for 12 years, and
who has cared for many owls, including saw-whets, during my time as a
rehabber, the only point I'd like to add here is that owls do not
sleep all day, as is commonly believed. My education owl's sleep
patterns are like my
As I understand it, the nature center staff has now had the issues brought
to their attention, and is taking steps of educational intervention by way
of crowd control for this bird. In this case, at least, some good may come
out of any disturbance that was caused.
