Or better yet, just stop birding--period. It's not just owls that are
affected. Birding does little but trample habitat, disturb
birds--causing them to waste precious energy, and burn fossil
fuels--causing pollution and global warming. So just stop
birding--now! Let's make membership on this list contingent on people
agreeing not to go birding.
I'm kidding of course, but am also making the point that all birding
balances the interest of the observer in seeing birds against the
welfare of the bird.
