Still being seen as of 3:05 PM. One disturbing observation. A photographer stopped his dark blue SUV in the left lane of westbound Ocean Parkway !!! Not only was this totally unnecessary to get a great picture of the bird but was tremendously dangerous to himself and unsuspecting motorists on the Parkway.
The NY State Police, Park Police, and the Suffolk County Police have been great letting people stop on the right shoulders and enjoy watching the bird. If this behavior continues it will generate calls and that will generate a police response. That police response will be chasing people from the area and at worst writing Parking tickets that most people will not appreciate. Lets all respect not only the bird but also the vehicle and traffic laws so that ALL people can have an opportunity to enjoy this bird, and driving along a public roadway.
