Birding Ethics

Birding ethics involves respecting birds, their habitats, and other birders. It means observing without disturbing, staying on designated trails, and keeping a respectful distance from nests and roosts. Avoid using playback calls excessively, which can stress birds. Respect private property and seek permission if needed. Sharing sightings responsibly and courteously fosters a positive community. Ultimately, ethical birding ensures that bird populations and their environments remain healthy, allowing future generations to enjoy them as well.
