I spoke with the plant manager about access and he said to tell people to not come past the gate into the plant. He is however allowing me access to look for future specimens to be turned in to Cornell if any are found. The birds are easily seen from outside the plant fence. To get to the location, take the Payne Beach Rd. exit of the parkway and go ½ mile south to the access road(east side of road). Take the access road to the plant gate, turn left into a gravel parking area just outside the gate. Walk the fenceline along the west side of the gate right across from the parking area. This takes you up a small incline and then you immediately plane off. Just past the jog in the fence you will come to the first holding tanks, these are the tanks that the birds are using for feeding primarily. They are roosting on the south side of the building, where they go up under some brown horizontal slats. You can see the whitewash on the slats. The birds are usually into the roost by around 4:30-4:45. Good luck if you go, Dave -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
