[nysbirds-l] Further Warning - Central Park

[Rick]

We were approached by a wandering gang of young adults in Central Park
today, wearing T-shirts.

"Are you watching birds?" one asked, a bit too directly.  

"Yes," I replied, hesitantly.

"Okay, stand up there, and lift your binoculars...We're on a scavenger hunt
and we need a photo of bird watchers."

We had no option but to comply, as he was pointing a cell phone camera
straight at us.

So, if you value your privacy, beware!

Rick

P.S.  What's next?

Hello, please be careful at Hempstead Lake State Park, Liz DiNapoli and
myself came across a stray brown dog and park police pulled up letting us
know the dog is very aggressive and possibly rabid.  The dog took off with
park police in pursuit, but it was not captured.  This is the north side of
field 3.  Happy fall birding.
