I brought my 90 year old mother to see the Belgrade owl. It was the high point of her life. We stood under the tree with a few other quiet admirers. Nobody acted out. It was enough just to observe its otherworldly presence.The owl was in its own space and seemed quite unperturbed.

Wow, I missed that! Had I witnessed it they would have gotten an earful from me!--On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 9:15 AM, Julia Hanauer-Milne <windyridgemaine@gmail.com> wrote:Unfortunately, I witnessed people in Belgrade behaving like the ones Susan described in Massachusetts. People were making noise trying to attract the bird's attention all for a good photo. I remember a thread on the birdlist about another great gray that died in the midcoast. People were still trying to take photos even as rescuers were attempting to save it. I know most birders aren't like this, but I do worry about the impact we have on these birds who may already be stressed by winter conditions.On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 8:59 AM, Aletha Boyle <mainelypets@gmail.com> wrote:About 8 or 9 years ago there was a Great Gray in North Belgrade about a mile from where I live. Birders were all very respectful to the property owners and kept their distance. The bird stuck around for about 2 weeks as I recall, but may have been there awhile before anyone noticed it.
