Hi everyone, >From the information I gathered from the replies to my initial email I found >out that the ballfield at the southern edge of the water is called "Merillon >Field" and that Nassau county had designated this body of water as a "Sump" >and not a pond; Therefore, I changed the name of the location on my eBird list >to "Merillon Field Sump" and asked eBird to consider it as a hot spot. Do you agree? Gus Keri
