Common YellowthroatPhoto Daniel Cadieux OFOs Rare Bird Ambassadors OFOs Rare Bird Ambassador plan is about empowering Ontario birders with the tools and resources needed so that they can coordinate with property owners to ensure the best outcomes for all parties. When a rare bird appears on private property or public property where access andor crowd control may become an issue careful planning is required to ensure that the ownerhostproperty manager birders photographers and the bird all have a positive experience. The goal is to promote positive relations between landowners birders and photographers ultimately resulting in happy people and happy birds. Birders can still decide if they want to share sightings or not we just hope that this makes the decision easier and spreads out the workload related to managing rare bird observations.
