Magnus, your last paragrap
Connecting to the recent discussion here, about arrogant dog-owners, this case
in Central Park, NYC is relevant.
The sister of the birdwatcher in the incident sent around his original film,
which is going viral and reaching millions now:

Howland Island once had farms, and there is an old network of dirt roads, now
crisscrossing between recently created dams.
So, mostly one can just walk along those dirt roads, starting from either of
the 2 access points, which is as far that one's car can go, and see the woods,

Congratulations on the birds, and the access to that place. Not sure how to get

One of your dog men at least said sorry. At Hog hole the other day, ignoring

to defend herself and fend it off. The man

This morning, a male cowbird singing, at Salt Point. Never heard that before. A
very low volume series of thin crispy notes. No clucking, as in some recordings
of its song.
The bird sat very close, on top of the little pine/fur tree at the lakeside
fork of the path to the Bluebird Path.

As an anthropologist I'd advise to be careful, in public campaigns at least,
