I've encountered a few people that seem a little too interested in checking them out from time-to-time, and as you suggested, it was off to the water dish with the cam! I have been reading your blog for CONE regularly and have valued your suggestions and having the blank spots filled in...not to mention your excellent coverage of the fascinating business of classifying birds. Plaudits, elanus! Feeling that many of the cam jams are unintentional, I do, however, feel strongly about preserving the privacy of folks on the other side of the deck.

I just want to sream at them. I don't know why they do that? I agree not to take pics of people on the road. I move to the birdbath and I hope others do the same. :) I don’t know how many times I’am trying to get a shot and someone,(they know who they are) moves the camera to the trees or somewhere else where there are no birds around.

I have a shot today. I don't think people mean any harm by it, but I think it is more like, "what the hell? People?" I might be more interested in the ethics of correctly trying to identify birds. It seems that some people incorrectly identify birds to keep others from gaining points. Also, there may be ethics involved in simply moving the camera away while someone is trying to get a shot. I understand if someone is trying to get a shot of something, but sometimes it is just random. I have done this too. I have a shot today.
