Dear All,
Very good points; especially long distance drives to add a bird to=20
an ego list. It is partly a social thing and that is good but why not=20
broaden the scope to other lifeforms; substitute width for length ? Go=20
just about anywhere outdoors and look down or straight ahead and, unless=20
you are genuinely well informed, you will see a vascular plant, moss,=20
thallose or leafy liverwort, lichen, fungus, insect, spider... which you=20
don't recognize as known to you or whose life cycle is a faint memory.
Or from the good book; Proverbs 17:24 "Wisdom is before the face of=20
one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of=20
the earth."
Good everythinging,
Yt, DW, Kentville

rst century, we are aware of the innumerable threats to the planet.. Climat=
e change is beginning to reshape the world, pesticides as well as other pol=
lutants can be found in the most remote and seemingly pristine areas, habit=
at loss threatens countless species of flora and fauna and human numbers co=
ntinue to grow at alarming rates. Seabirds populations have been reduced by =
approximately 70% since 1950, aerial insectivores losses are around 10% pe=
r year, many once common species are becoming increasingly uncommon, if not =
rare. With all this news, which is based on very solid peer reviewed scien=
ce, one would think that people as a whole and certainly naturalists, would =
change their ways.<br />=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 The wel=
l educated naturalist/birder has many things to consider these days. Will o=
ur love for birds cause us to do more harm than good? If we drive countless =
miles in search of list birds, are we hypocritical to demand something be=
done about climate change? How far is too far to drive in a day? How close=
is too close when photographing birds? Is feeding birds ok? Will my use of=
playbacks be too disruptive? There are many questions we might ask ourselve=
s or others.<br /><br />Let=E2=80=99s examine these issues one at a time.<b=
r /><br />Chasing birds - This activity has a very heavy carbon footprint.=
Some birders travel immense distances just to add a single species to a lis=
t. <br /><br />Photographing birds - Nearly all of us have seen birders and =
photographers get too close to birds. Sometimes flushing a bird is due to=
a simple miscalculation. However, sometimes it is not. Unethical behaviour=
is quite common with photographers getting too close to birds in an attempt =
to get a better shot. If a bird is flushed, it is likely time to back off=
and/or change ones approach. This is true for those of us with a camera or=
without.<br /><br />Playbacks/mobbing calls - Use of mobbing calls has beco=
me quite common in NB. Opinions on their use vary. Some claim they should n=
ever be used. Others feel that their use is generally OK outside of breedin=
g season or outside of popular birding areas. For most of us, it is a judge=
ment call. However, there is no doubt that playbacks of any type can be dis=
ruptive during breeding season. Anyone using them around breeding birds sho=
uld have a very good reason for their use (like taking part in an official=
study).<br /><br />Feeding birds - This activity is likely pretty benign in =
general. However, disease can be spread at feeders and the production of b=
ird food does have a footprint of its own. On an overpopulated planet, ever=
ything we do has potential to be harmful in some way.<br /><br />=C2=A0=C2=
=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 So, what is a birder to do? One suggestio=
n is to think about all of these things every time we leave our homes, star=
t up our cars or reach for our gadgets. We can enjoy nature without destroy=
ing it. The information gathered by amateur birders is extremely valuable.=
Many of us have taken part in backyard bird counts, breeding bird surveys,=
migration counts and more. Some of us have discovered unknown bird populati=
ons, previously unknown concentration points, and of coarse numerous vagran=
ts. <br />=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 For me, I can=E2=80=99=
t help but think about my footprint on the earth, whenever I plan a trip. T=
hat is why I am generally not seen at rare bird stakeouts or out chasing in=
dividual birds. I find these activities to be way too consumptive. Instead, =
I tend to search for the interesting birds near my home. Or if I do ventur=
e far, I try to spend significant periods of time there, pick up goods alon=
g the way and/or fill my vehicle with other birders in an attempt to lower=
our collective footprint. In doing this I have missed out on seeing some ra=
rities. However, I have found a fair number of my own and have made other d=
iscovers of importance (i.e. hawk migration concentration points).<br />=C2=
=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 There are still many discoveries we =
can make. As the climate changes, unusual phenomenon could become more com=
mon. Sea-ice is being reduced allowing sea- birds to cross from the Pacific =
to the Atlantic Basin. Storm strengths are increasing which will leave mor=
e displaced birds far from their normal ranges. Breeding and wintering rang=
es are moving north. There are so many things to discover and document. <br =
/>=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 It is my hope that all of us=
will be open to learning about the state of the world and how we contribute =
to it.<br /><br />For the birds,<br /><br />Todd Watts<br />Bocabec, NB<br =
