Re:[nysbirds-l] RFI Corn Crake situation

Thanks to all who responded publicly and privately to my earlier request. Made it down there mid-afternoon, and there were no issues with any law enforcement whatsoever. Legal parking is very, very close to where the bird is hanging out, as previously described, so there is no need to park along
