[nysbirds-l] Charging at Nickerson Beach - Clarfication

2015-06-09 Thread Peter Post
I just called the office at Nickerson Beach and they gave me a  
different story than the persons I spoke to who were actually  
collecting the entrance fee last weekend.

The official story is:
They are not yet charging during the week until after Father's Day.
Weekend hours (including Friday) are 9-5, until after Father's Day,  
even though the staff collecting the entrance fee stopped at 4:00.
After Father's Day they will stop charging at 6:00 pm every day of  
the week..

BTW. The entrance fee is $30.00 for non-residents.

[nysbirds-l] Charging at Nickerson Beach

2015-06-09 Thread Peter Post


They currently charge between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. The  
schedule changes on Father's Day. The staff doesn't yet know what the  
new schedule will be. In the past they started charging at 8:30 am.  
The hours they stopped charging have varied from after 5:00 pm to  
after 6:00 pm, depending on the year and day of the week.

Thanks Shai for your recent reports of Arctic Tern at Nickerson  
Beach and Cupsogue Park.   I've never seen Arctic Tern in New York  
and would love to visit one of these areas.


However, I am not a resident of either Nassau County or Suffolk  
County.  As far as I can see, the parking fees for nonresidents at  
these parks are exhorbitant.  I wonder if there is any way around  
this?  Maybe some thoughtful local group could organize a trip to  
the area.
