Afraid not. That's just where the well-established supremacy of the state's
sole authority to regulate hunting comes in. This is not an issue where home
rule rights might plausibly be asserted. State-wide regulation of hunting is
clearly a preemptive "general law" as defined in Article IX of the
A few minutes ago an adult FRANKLIN'S GULL flew in to Myers Point,
apparently from the south, and landed on the north side of the spit, out of
sight for us at the lighthouse. We tried to reposition to get a look but it
flew before any other birds and quickly headed off to the north with some

Where? Why?

Missing from this exchange is the fact that it was DEC's top waterfowl
biologist, in consultation with the DEC office in Cortland, who recommended
that the easiest way to resolve the human conflicts was to enforce the already
existing ordinance passed by the City of Ithaca, but not recently enfo
The state has the authority to restrict or ban hunting in any area it
designates, for any of a variety of reasons, including public safety. And the
state already has the resources in place to communicate and enforce such
restrictions. If the city or its citizens want a ban in the waters off Stew
It seems to me that ideally the city would take the lead in petitioning DEC for
a remedy. Other entities, groups and individuals might sign-on as joint
petitioners. The first hurdle would be to convince the city that enforcing its
existing firearms ban on the grounds of Stewart Park, while certa
I think that this (below) is the part of the law that can be enforced at
Stewart Park, it surely falls under the definition of a playground.
However be very aware of possible consequences. It may surprise you
that less than 12% of the DEC's budget comes from taxes. That leaves a
whopping 88% f
No luck trying to refind the Franklin's from Long Point and Aurora, but we
can see a large feeding flock of gulls on the water off Deans Cove on the
west side, so if you are in that area it might be worth stopping in to take
a look.

This is interesting. Taking another look at the map, I see that birds
diverging from the west shore of Cayuga above Taughannock would pass by
Connecticut Hill on a straight course toward the Chesapeake, and would
converge with the Susquehanna at Sayre, Pa, at its confluence with the Chemung
Hi Carl, you wrote:

Yes indeed! There are already a number of exemptions to the firearms
prohibition in Stewart Park. One of the possibilities is that the city might
choose to revise the code by adding yet another exempti

Slow to find my bins buried under stuff. Did see yellow on sides as wings were

I went up the west side of the lake today shortly after Jay’s email. As
yesterday, no luck finding the Franklin’s Gull, but the number of Loons on the
lake is quite impressive. Most of the feeding activity is north of Sheldrake,
both gulls and loons, and most of the birdlife is far from either s
I've been gone a week, but went out to the Cornell compost today to census
crows and had a few noteworthy birds. In addition to the American and Fish

Hi All,
What another beautiful day. There were thousands of blackbirds this afternoon
on East Road. I was photographing them until the neighbor's plane repeatedly
flew in circles around the fields, eventually scattering them. I have been
interrupted in a lot of ways, but that is a new one. Ma
Hi,
Sorry about two posts, but I think there were two Yellow- headed Blackbirds,
quite close together.
