Hi Andrew:
If you don't mind, I am going to print a screenshot of your email in the QCBC
newsletter as an update about the West Pond.
Thank you.
Lisa

Subject: [ebirdsnyc] Re: [nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Shorebird Festival
Some photos from yesterday's Shorebird Festival can be seen here
I should add that during yesterday's presentation, I learned that the
superintendent of Gateway, Jennifer Nersesian, announced that the breach to the
West Pond will be closed. That is the text message I received while I was at
the north end of the East Pond with a small group who stayed with me. While
there is no timeline or details associated with her announcement, it has to be
seen as a positive development that we at least have on RECORD, someone from
National Park Service committing to closing the breach.
l want to also add that I am grateful that Lloyd, Don and Kevin continue to
organize this event which is so much needed at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. I
hope they continue to do so for many years to come. If you missed the event
yesterday, think about attending next year. The usage of places like the refuge
for wildlife observation is very key to how decisions are made in maintaining
and enhancing existing wildlife habitats.
Cheers,

We had a fabulous day with approx. 170 people attending throughout the day. I
want to thank Tom Burke, Gail Benson, Doug Gochfeld and Andrew Baksh for their
invaluable help as field leaders. They were really great.Although the quantity
of birds wasn't there we did have many Stilt Sandpipers and Western Sandpipers
up very close. There were a couple of Black Terns and one Gull-billed Tern. Of
course there were Semipalmated Sandpipers and Plovers along with White-rumped
Sandpiper, Least Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Short-billed Dowitcher and both
Yellowlegs. Earlier in the morning Andrew (Birding Dude) Baksh saw a Baird's
which we couldn't relocate.We finished the day with a presentation given by
Kevin Karlson. He gave a very entertaining and informative look at his new book
"Birding by Impression" part of the Peterson series.I want to publicly than
the hard working people of Gateway National Recreation Area especially Jen
Nersesian. Also NYC Audubon and the American Littoral Society for sponsoring
the event.

All the best,
