Friends, I’ve erased most of the back-and-forth notes on borough boundaries at 
Jamaica Bay (I was XMas count compiler for Bklyn count for 26 years, have been 
through all that). 

 

I have one gentle observation – if the community put as much energy into 
insisting on a habitat management plan to return JBWR to its former ascendant 
glory, as on worrying over what county list a sighting might go on, our efforts 
might extend more positively into the future.

views. It is pouring rain.

[nysbirds-l] Staten Island White Ibis (Yes)

2022-08-11 Thread Andrew Baksh 
Just now from David Chernack:

“White Ibis continues. Viewed at the end of Delwit Avenue, the bird was located 
physically here (pin below). Heading to Riga Street to see if we can get better 
views. It is pouring rain. 
40.5544510, -74.1194692”


“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves could free our 
mind.” ~ Bob Marley

“Tenderness and Kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but 
manifestations of strength and resolution” ~ Khalil Gibran

"I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of 
others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick 
Douglass
