Dan,
Assuming he had no permission from the land-owner to be there, and he
was too close to the birds to be summoned away by your calling out,
would you consider leaving a note on his car, to inform him of the
ethics involved, or to request that he call you to discuss the birds?
When I went to view them, the only other people who showed up, stayed
by their car at the roadside, but I thought that's what I would do if
they ventured into the field before I could say anything. Maybe it
would even help to print up the list of guidelines that came out in
the e-mails after last spring's Whooper events down there, and just
stick a copy of it under the person's windshield. While I'm not naieve
enough to believe it would change everyone's behavior, it might
influence at least a few.
