Greetings all
I feel that all of us has stressed a bird or two even if just a little to see a
Life Bird.
But on the whole it is less harmful to them as a deer, duck or turkey being
shot by a hunter or a fish that is frightened by a kook in its mouth and fights
for its life and after maybe a 40 minute struggle it is let go. But who knows
if even lives afterwards
I have been birding since 1984 but it something that I and every birder needs
to work on doing a better job but at the same I feel that as birders we stress
birds and other wildlife less that others that hunt or fish.
I take pictures of birds as I birdwatch and having returned from a trip to
Holland in February my guide there told me that when he started birding it was
just birders out there chasing after the rare birds but now it is more
photographers and that most do not follow any code of ethics just so that they
can get a great picture.
Now before I get fussed at I said most not all maybe photographers and not
birders and not all photographers put undue stress on birds and other forms of
wildlife to get a picture.
