I have always found that MOST birders are quite  considerate of landowners 
and people's privacy. I think it is the few not the  many who are inconsiderate.
 
Saturday we drove to Thurmont and met some friends  that drove 5 hours from 
Connecticut to see the Lapwing. We had  breakfast and then went to the site. We 
all parked on the corner and walked to  the graveyard. I walked on the paths 
through the graveyard and not on the  graves. After several hours and a decent 
Lapwing sighting we went to the owl  site near Gettysburg and observed 
several Short-eared Owls and a beautiful  albino Red-tail.
 
Expenditures for the day were breakfast for two, a  fill-up on gas, soft 
drinks at a convenience store, dinner for two and a rather  large purchase in an 
area antique store.
