Some acts witnessed by multiple birding observers regarding a Bobolink
& a variety of other migrants in Central Park may have come as close
as, or over the line (as understood by any & all reasonable birders &
other persons) on what is an illegal activity, and if any such
behavior should continue, federal authorities with enforcement powers
will be contacted regarding this. The meaning of an illegal activity
is: breaking the law whether local, county, state, or federal. Please
act in a respectful manner to wildlife, and any persons witnessing
what may be illegal activity should make an attempt to video-record
such activity, & to potentially share with officials with enforcement
powers. No wildlife, nor its peaceful observers, ought be harmed,
harassed, nor in any way made to feel unnecessarily uncomfortable, and
certainly not threatened, in the peaceful and law-abiding act of
enjoying the spring, or any bird-watching season. Thanks for
understanding, and being for the birds best interests.
Many other migrant birds continue to be seen in Central Park (& other
city parks & green-spaces) while the sheer numbers of the prior
several days starting especially last Sunday have been a bit lower.
