[nysbirds-l] Black Terns, Cupsogue (ocean side only)

[GQ]

About 6 to 8 Black Terns fairly close to shore today while I was lounging with 
the family at Cupsogue CP, between 11AM and 2PM.
I tended to see them whenever I opened my eyes, so I get the feeling there were 
probably more.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Pine Island Missionlands Road, Warwick.NY

[sophiesaid]

 Hi Bill and the NY Listserv~

My reply to your post was to ask you to avoid confrontation. This man seems to 
be an anomaly, most of the Black Dirt farmers are super nice,
and in my humble opinion, super patient with the influx of birders and 
photographers during the different bird migrating seasons.
This man seems agitated, and I am thinking that maybe birder kindness will only 
help the situation.  It is a public road, but 
it seems that this man wants to blow off steam.   All the local birders are 
respectful, and try to avoid confrontation with any land owners (keep in mind 
that the street may be public, but
the land is not).   Very rarely, birders or photographers may block roads (or 
their trucks), make sudden stops, drive on the wrong side of the road, etc. 
Let's show all the farmers the patience that most show us. :)

I called Warwick police station and was told it is a county road and he has no 
right to tell anyone it is private. I suggest video him and ask his name.
He has no right to be scaring people off the road.
I heard from someone else who was also told to leave, so he is doing it to a 
number of bird watchers.

RE: [nysbirds-l] Pine Island Missionlands Road, Warwick.NY

[Curt McDermott]

Video taping people can escalate matters.  If you are on the road and not 
trespassing on private property, ignore the person without doing anything that 
may be infammatory.  If it becomes dangerous, call the Police and take note of 
the vehicle plate and description.  Pay attention to their clothing, weight, 
height, facial hair and hair color.  Then leave and meet the Police at the end 
of the road.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Pine Island

[sophiesaid]

 In all the time that I have been birding Missionland, I have only had this 
experience once- with the same individual (at least by the description of the 
truck).  I avoided confrontation, and said that I was leaving.
One of the farmers who owns property on Missionland stops to talk to me each 
time that he sees me.  I explained what happened and he said that Missionland 
is *not* a private road, but suggests to avoid conflict
with this individual (and I have the benefit of using the this kind farmer's 
name)... I asked this kind farmer what advice I should give to other birders 
that have had this same scenario happen and he suggested to avoid conflict, 
but, if necessary,
suggest that you will call the state troopers and ask if it is a private or 
public road.  It *is* a public road.  Hopefully, this will defuse situation, 
and no call will need to be made. But, it is best to avoid conflict (and not 
make the situation worse for others that often bird there). :)

Hi Just back from Pine Island area not many birds as there is not a lot of Sod 
under cultivation.
I was sitting on Mission line road just south of the Audi service place. This 
white truck comes along and the guy says that Mission line is a private road 
and the land is all private so no Birdwatching. I have had friends who have 
been told this before, so what is the designation of this road.
He seemed to especially be against bird watchers as he repeated "no bird 
watching" several times.
I think he may be from the double wide that is parked on the left as you go 
south.


I have NJ plates and as I do bird up there often. I would not call myself a 
regular, I did not argue with him but just kept birding.
Thanks for any info.
Bill

I was sitting on Mission line road just south of the Audi service place. This 
white truck comes along and the guy says that Mission line is a private road 
and the land is all private so no Birdwatching. I have had friends who have 
been told this before, so what is the designation of this road.
He seemed to especially be against bird watchers as he repeated "no bird 
watching" several times.
I think he may be from the double wide that is parked on the left as you go 
south.


I have NJ plates and as I do bird up there often. I would not call myself a 
regular, I did not argue with him but just kept birding.
Thanks for any info.
Bill

[nysbirds-l] Barely OT: Wood Stork, Sandy Hook NJ 8/20

[Brendan Fogarty]

Hi everyone,

I just got a secondhand report of a Wood Stork dangerously close to Brooklyn. 
Original message from Susanna Treesh:

"Actively feeding NW Corner of salt pond. Don't go past plover exclusion (sic). 
Best views from dunes to south."

I am afraid I have no further information and am not very familiar with the 
particular area. There's never much love when you go OT.

Good luck!
Brendan
