Recent debates over posting rare bird locations, baiting, and the general
question of harassment caused WSO to update their guidelines and address
those concerns. Our hope is that this revised Code of Ethics helps the
Wisconsin birding community make better informed decisions while in the
field, and promotes stewardship of Wisconsin birds. The revised Code of
Ethics now includes the following updates:
⢠Information to help one recognize the signs of stress and suggestions on
how to minimize stress while observing a bird;
⢠A list of special considerations when observing or photographing raptors,
owls or rare birds;
⢠Proper procedures for dealing with illegal activities involving wild
birds;
⢠Suggestions for increasing goodwill amongst the birding community.
Check it out at wsobirds.org under the Conservation tab.
