i think the issue with owls or some other birds is disclosing where they’re nesting or roosting (not necessarily just that they have been sighted somewhere), right? if so, it might be nice to have some sort of flag or annotation that can automatically trigger obscuration based on nesting, etc. in the meantime, i think educating people about species that require a little extra care when posting observations, even if they are not otherwise threatened, is the best way to go.
