Please remember that bird nests, particularly raptor nests, are vulnerable to disturbance. Even well-meaning people can disrupt birds’ nesting behavior or inadvertantly lead predators (including human predators!) to nests. The general rule is to keep the location of all nests secret. Yes, secret from everyone! Even other birders!

Thanks for speaking out on this. The birds always come first.
Also, maybe we shouldn’t tell owl locations either during invasions since they are already stressed and out of their normal area.
