Hi Sparky, Thank you for the field trips! We were told not to approach nest sites because human scent could draw predators to it. Or birds might abandon the nest site. Is that a concern for the woodpecker holes and grouse site for example?

Have enjoyed your photos but REALLY enjoy the video field trips. Reminds me of my bird watching classes in Fergus Falls with Paul Anderson in the 1980’s. Thanks
