What is it about large white birds that invites trespass?  A reminder that
we are all representatives of birding.  Trespassing to photograph Snow
Geese or any other bird is against the OFO code of ethics.  This creates
conflict with landowners and utilities such as sewage lagoons.  Birds (and
birders) need landowners on their side.
