Unfortunately we don't know if the offending party was just "clueless" or just "doesn't care" . If the former, maybe they will get a clue after reading this: http://listing.aba.org/ethics/ The American Birding Association ( ABA ) code of ethics should be read and re-read by all birders, beginners and experienced alike. We could all benefit from a gentle reminder that we are guests in our avian friends homes. In other words: - Be Polite - Don't over stay your welcome -Talk in your "indoor voice" -Don't point -Respect their privacy ( stay on paths, and well away from nests and roosts) I'm sure we could all add to this list, but then why not just take a moment and re-read the ABA code of ethics?
