Basically, a query to eBird moderators but anyone with knowledge of the workings of reporting sensitive species is welcome to respond.  Do I, or do I not, hide checklists with Sensitive Species from the public feed?  eBird's help section says yes, but when I go to do so, I receive prompts discouraging me from doing so.

Additionally, when a Sensitive Species is present in an area, should I be reaching out to anyone about sharing the exact location so that others may try to find it?  What I don't want to do is draw excessive attention to the bird's presence, but I also don't want this to be a missed opportunity for data collection and study.
