Bob or anyone else, what is the understanding (if any) with the owners of the Lansing Marina, the private part, not the public area? I know in past SFOs, the leaders merrily led us in there and it is normally a great spot to pick up a number of ducks, mergansers, and coots, but yesterday when I was solo birding at Myers and elsewhere, I decided not to walk (or drive) right past the pretty prominent sign that says "no admittance except to members" (which I ain't). I decided to ask on the list before approaching the office which was an option on a Friday since it appeared to be open.
After the most unpleasant experience a year ago with the bozo who claims to own all of Portland Point, and past notices about the Empire Farm area (where the owners specifically request a courtesy notice from birders entering the grounds), I wanted to play fair with the Marina so I can see those ducks in future. Has either the Bird Club or SFO specifically received privileges to the marina? And if so, any indication if they are cool about short incursions by other birders not directly associated with either?
