Behave in a manner that will enhance the image of the WSO and the birding community to others. Birders in groups have special responsibilities. Support the leader of the group. Limit group size so as not to threaten the environment. Teach others birding ethics by word and example.
Birders recognize the importance of research projects to further our knowledge about birds.
Not knowingly interfere with research projects. This code of ethics was adopted by the WSO Board of Directors January 1996.
