Fully support the idea of showing our appreciation when we traipse
through someone's yard to see a particular bird. Offering to leave a
contribution on feed upkeep or taking the person out for a meal, when
appropriate would be a small way of saying THANKS.

I hark back to just this past Jan. 17&18 when a group of us MOS-MCC
birders went to the Outerbanks and parked on two successive days in an
owners back yard and even on his back steps to get views of the two male
and two female painted buntings at his feeders. He didn't mind and came
out to talk to us. In the future, I will suggest to the group that we
pitch in and leave a donation or invite him to dinner.
