Hi Bill and the NY Listserv~
My reply to your post was to ask you to avoid confrontation. This man seems to
be an anomaly, most of the Black Dirt farmers are super nice,
and in my humble opinion, super patient with the influx of birders and
photographers during the different bird migrating seasons.
This man seems agitated, and I am thinking that maybe birder kindness will only
help the situation. It is a public road, but
it seems that this man wants to blow off steam. All the local birders are
respectful, and try to avoid confrontation with any land owners (keep in mind
that the street may be public, but
the land is not). Very rarely, birders or photographers may block roads (or
their trucks), make sudden stops, drive on the wrong side of the road, etc.
Let's show all the farmers the patience that most show us. :)

I called Warwick police station and was told it is a county road and he has no
right to tell anyone it is private. I suggest video him and ask his name.
He has no right to be scaring people off the road.
I heard from someone else who was also told to leave, so he is doing it to a
number of bird watchers.
