[nysbirds-l] Mine road in West Point

Hello Does anyone know if mine road in West Point is open for birding at least along the road? Can a birder exit the vehicle and stay on the road? I recall last year some information here about the military closing the road to birders. Any information would be most appreciated. Thanks James

[nysbirds-l] Montauk - dead shearwaters

On a 1.5 mile walk between Essex Ave and Ditch Plains I observed at least 15 deceased shearwaters - almost all of which were entangled in seaweed. Additionally, there was a long-tailed duck on the beach at Ditch Plains. A dog chased it into the ocean where it swam for a bit before coming back
