Owl Privacy?

Hi everyone!

I was lucky enough to sit and watch a Barred Owl yesterday resting (cautiously) for about 30 minutes yesterday! I have a photo of them, and am wondering about posting owl sightings and locations on iNaturalist.

In the past I have heard of efforts to not share owl locations as to help support them to stay private without too many people coming to look for them. I'm wondering if that is a specific practice for certain owls and not others, and if any of you have any thoughts or practices around this.

Thanks for your help!

That is so cool!! What a fun encounter! You could put the location as either obscured or private which would prevent users from seeing the exact location.

Here is a link with in depth descriptions of the ways these two settings work: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/geoprivacy
