SUMMARY: Ethical Questions for  the Outdoor Naturalist - Speaker: Doug Hitchcox - 
DESCRIPTION:Birding\, and other wildlife observing\, provides an\nintimate connection to nature that makes us better\nstewards of the environment and even provides us with\nwellness and mental health benefits\, but through our\npursuits\, are we doing more harm than good?\nIn this program\, Maine Audubon’s Staff Naturalist\, Doug\nHitchcox\, will talk about many of the ethical issues that\nwe confront as bird watchers\, and dispel some of the\nmyths that exist in our relationship with nature. Topics\nwill range from: bird feeding\, does it actually help birds?\nWhy are bird friendly yards reportedly more deadly for\nbirds? Should you join the “chase” to go see a rare bird being reported? Why do cats need to be kept indoors? When should you let nature take its course or when should you intervene? Many of these questions may raise ethical or social dilemmas\, but Doug will provide the science-based answers that put the birds\, and other wildlife\, first. \nNote:  Following UMF guidelines\, Masks are required.  Given the Delta Variant surge please check back closer to the time to be sure that UMF has not restricted our use of Thomas Auditorium.  At this time\, the auditorium is available for our use\, and the talk is planned as an in-person event.  It will be recorded and available on our website for those unable to attend in-person.
