If it's true that the issue has already been resolved (last year, as Ken
suggests), perhaps the city should take a cue from other regional entities (the
State Parks, the Finger Lakes Land Trust, the Finger Lakes Trail Conference,
the Arnot Teaching Forest, etc.), and just post the rule
Yet another good reason to buy a Duck Stamp. That way you can show your
support for conservation and that you are not against their activity per
say, just the location. I am willing to bet that if you showed that you
too had a duck stamp and explained your concern that this is a city park
Thanks, Dave, for staying with this. The City code is clear:
No person shall carry, transport or possess any firearm of any nature in the

Hi all,
Just a reminder, as a few seem to forget each year, of some key points:
Hunting is LEGAL.
Guns are LEGAL.
Harassing legal hunting activity is a CRIME.
Birding, hunting and other wholesome outdoor activities are NOT mutually
exclusive.
And one personal observation. The sight of a gun

If one goes to the City of Ithaca code site (ecode 360) and searches "guns" or
"hunting", you will find information on the ban on the discharge of a gun in
the city and also of the ban on hunting in the city. The word "firearms" will

My guess is that these hunters thought they were conducting themselves in a
manner consistent with NYSDEC regs, meaning that they have the right to
waterfowl hunt on Cayuga Lake as long they don't fire in the direction of a
dwelling that's less than 500' away (among other things).

Hi all,
Before this annual listserv discussion escalates once again, I would like to
point out the whole issue of hunting within the Ithaca city limits was
discussed with the Mayor and city government last winter and, from what I
heard, resolved. John Dennis — Ithaca resident and birder — led
Although I am no longer an Ithaca resident, it warms my heart to see that
as always, Dave is looking out for his fellow birders and the citizens of
Ithaca by standing up to those men. Keep up the good work Dave and please
keep posting your birding adventures! They make me feel like I am back
I stand in support of Dave Nutter's account of illegal carrying of guns in a
park where birders and other non-consumptive users congregate. It is important
to alert people to a potentially dangerous situation.
I can see this thread is quickly going to degenerate into pro versus con but I
I have an issue with this being on the bird list--each of us may I have

mention of guns around the kids is a biased statement all by itself.

Dave, thanks for sharing your encounter with the List, because this potentially
affects anyone who intends to go birding at Stewart Park or in the nearby
areas, if this kind of activity is seasonally permitted from such a widely and
publicly used space.
Does the Cayuga Bird Club have an
Dave,
It is great that you followed through on all of this! It sounds like an
intimidating situation, but you did not back down. I think it would be
worthwhile to share your experience with your city representative and the
Major. I just read in the Ithaca Journal this morning that all Ithaca
