I will be sending directions to Susan off-list. My wife and I were up
there this weekend. The owls were amazing. 98% of the birders and
photographers were great. Three photographers and two other birders
were going offtrail and in at least two instances they flushed owls.
Very upsetting to see, especially the woman photographer with the
Canon 7D and big lens (500mm?) who was hundreds of feet offtrail and
kept approaching one owl until, at less than 25 feet, she flushed it.
