posting photos of occupied hawk nest . Etiquette?

[linda purcell]

Hello,    what is the etiquette, thinking, published data, common practice regarding......

Posting a photo on the eBird checklist    OR    on a Facebook page,  of a nearly fledged hawk in a nest?   

In this case, SWHA   nest in a Denver Park, single bird occupying the nest, looks like it is ready to fledge, easily visible.   two adults flying overhead.      we were easily able to photograph the bird in the nest from the ground.   there is no locaiton data on ebird other than the checklist location (this nest has been reported on prior checklists this season, this location).   regarding FB posting of the photo, how detailed a description is appropriate?   the species?   city?   general location?  specific location?    I am not a FB user, therefore i don't have a means of comparison.  

thanks

There is no prohibition for posting such on CoBirds. The DFO FB group has a prohibition against any raptor nest images or specific nest locations being revealed, but other groups have different rules or no rules about that. And of course people can post on their own page whatever they want. EBird not discourage images of nests, but users should consider the situation and whether it could promote poor interactions with people by being included.
