This page will be dedicated to publicizing the decisions of the BC Bird
Records Committee. Essentially the committee's job is to evaluate rare
bird sightings within the province of British Columbia and establish an
official all-time list for the area. Since there has not been an active
committee since 1998, there is a lot of catching up to do!

I understood that sightings of endangered species were not to be posted with exact locations. On Thursday Nov 26 about 3:30 we had finally seen the rare Burrowing Owl, when a guy with a huge telephoto lens, not content to walk around the rock pile for a good shot, climbed the rocks, disregarding repeated requests to come down, and scared the owl into flight. This stressed the owl and prevented the people following us a Lifer. I think it would be good if there were a "clearing house" for persons wanting to see a posted rarity -- not sure how, but surely it can be done.
ReplyDeleteYes they shouldn't be and that's why we never posted it here on the bird alert. We can't control what individual people post to Ebird and unfortunately people chose to put the exact location to Ebird. No consideration was given to this threatened owl and climbing rock piles and getting to close is endangering the welfare of this bird and is against the law because it is a threatened species it is very unfortunate and disturbing how much disregard was given to this sensitive species I'm sorry you had to witness it and sorry the little owl had to endure it.
