Blue Chip Farm has been very accommodating to birders over the years and birders have been respectful of the horses. Please do not go on the fields or do anything to interfere with the horses or we will not be welcome. It only takes one bad apple. Irene Warshauer

Her number is 845-895-3930 X 14 or sell 845-705-7157. She understands that Blue Chip has birds hard to see other places. She got my number from the Audubon website (the only place she knew to look). I said I would notify Mearns and John Burroughs too Lynn Barber Orange County Audubon 845-744-6047 ====================================================================================================== Thanks Lynn, It's a very sad situation when those who manage Blue Chip have to make such a request, obviously because of previous offenses. Over the past 40 years that I have been birding at Blue Chip Farm I have NEVER seen a soul violate those grounds but things do change. I will call Jean Brown tomorrow and my recommendation is that they record the license plate of ANY offenders and that they call the State Police and have them arrested for illegal trespass. I'd also like her to let us know who the violators are and what their license numbers are. Knowing our Mearns members I very sincerely doubt that ANY member would violate those grounds in any way. We all know just how many wonderful experiences we have had with outstanding sightings.
