[nysbirds-l] Comments of Jamaica Bay Management Plan urgently needed

The National Park Service is requesting comments for an East and West Pond “Stewardship” Plan to be incorporated into the Gateway General Management Plan. The Refuge is becoming overgrown. We are losing species diversity. The is a total lack of management. All of which needs to be addressed.

When reporting rare or unusual birds it would most helpful if the person reporting mentions the sex and or age of the bird (in such cases, off course, where there is a visible difference). In my experience, this has usually not been the case. It would make it much easier to find if one knows

Good Morning: Despite Central Park being closed I spent an hour in the park this morning from 6:30-7:30. I birded the 72nd Street Lake, Turtle Pond, The Great Lawn and the Reservoir. I didn't expect much and wasn't disappointed. Visibility was poor and the only birds seen were 3 Mallards, and

Re: [nysbirds-l] Hurricane Irene: some words on birding during and after the storm

Hi, Ever since hurricane Gloria in 1985 one cannot access the other barrier beaches which are sealed off to prevent looting. This is a major problem for birders as experience has shown that most of the storm blown seabirds immediately go back out to sea. I remember one hurricane at Robert Moses
