While walking some of it's trails today, including a few for the first time in
the n/w sector, I had the following thought. What would it take to assign names
to the scattered locations, which might help other birders "zero in" on a
sighting, in the quickest and most efficient way possible ?
I believe the first step would be an online conversation/survey among the folks
who are doing the birding and posting, to gauge their interest. This group,
made up of people from NFAS, ELIAS, and other local users, would decide. If
affirmed (majority), all that would remain to be done would be to agree
(majority again) on the specific site names. In example (if this idea prevails)
how about using "The Veep" to signify the main vernal ponds (V.P.) area.
Now please don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting the N.F.P. is a Central Park
or Prospect Park, but I wouldn't be surprised, if time might not judge it to be
another Alley Pond Park or Forest Park! The varied habitats which make up this
400 acre "gem" ( 315 owned by county, with 85 still in private "hands") is the
quintessential "diamond in the rough"!
Cheers,Bob
