Whether you’re birding from the car or trail, its important to remember these tips for safe wildlife viewing this winter!
🦉Use a zoom lens, binoculars, or a spotting scope to give wildlife plenty of space. Your presence should not disrupt the animal’s normal behaviors. If it does, you’re too close!
🦉Never feed wildlife. Feeding wildlife is dangerous for wildlife and people. Sharing your food can sicken an animal or encourage it to approach humans in the future, expecting a snack.
🦉If you see sick or injured wildlife, reach out to a local wildlife rehabilitator. http://ow.ly/RgCS50GYJpn
