Well why don't we assume that, ignorant provincial northerner though
I may be, I have asked the question, "What are the detrimental effects?"
Will I get an answer?

What do you consider to be the alternatives?

I'm unaware of any National Audubon Society position. Most birders
use the ABA guide to ethical birding, if they use anything. IIRC Martyn
was very down on his chapter, but my experience in SoCal is quite the
opposite. I hear very little taping on Audubon field trips - very little
and very infrequently. But, if you have something to say to Audubon, why
can't you say it here?
