[EBB Sightings] Disclosing raptor nests

I'm not sure how you guys do it over at EBB Sightings but many of the dozen or more lists I subscribe to seem to have an unwritten rule about not disclosing the EXACT location of raptor nests in public.

We recently had a exchange about this on SFbirds with one local birder voicing opposition to people publicly disclosing the location of a GHOW nest. It may be better to share such info through private emails.

Just a thought.
