I won’t be reporting any future Snowy Owl sightings from Montrose because of the continued harassment these birds have been receiving, both from birders and non-birders. I admit that it might be too late but I think enough people have seen, enjoyed and photographed these birds that it’s now time to leave them alone. I’m not going to tell people what to do and I’m not casting blame but I would encourage anyone who sees Snowy Owls at Montrose to consider their welfare and think twice about publicly reporting any future Snowy Owl sightings.
