[nysbirds-l] LI Roseate Spoonbill request (and bird continues) 8/6
Hi all, The Cold Spring Harbor/Saint John’s Pond Roseate Spoonbill is still being reported as of this morning. Someone from the Cold Spring Lab wanted to request that photographers and birders don’t park or try on the lab property from 7am to 4pm, and please don’t enter any buildings. There are lots of activities occurring there this time of year and they have their own pandemic protocols. If you want to use the lab as a western vantage on the harbor, you may walk in, being mindful of construction areas. Please park at the Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery and carefully cross 25A. There is free parking behind the hatchery, at the little wooden stairs by the pond outflow. Drive in through the hatchery. Parking for people with disabilities is available by continuing to drive south and uphill, right up to the church. The bird spends most of its afternoons roosting at various spots around the pond, all visible from the church (a scope helps for the back half of the pond). Another equally accessible angle on the harbor from the east is the public fishing dock, on Harbor Rd (by the Harbor Mist restaurant) at these coordinates. 40.86574845769521, -73.46237710464821 Best, Brendan Fogarty -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
