[Tweeters] Winter Wren Sunday January 17

[J. Acker]

I would consider the use of playback against this individual bird as harassment.  The ABA code of ethics states “Limit the use of recordings and other audio methods of attracting birds, particularly in heavily birded areas, for species that are rare in the area…”  Where does the WOS Board stand on this?  (Their website is not user friendly when searching for a Code of Ethics).

Found just before noon on both sides of the small white shed. Responded well to recording. My best photo is at:  https://pbase.com/image/171351144
