Dear Birders: The state governments of NY and CT are now developing a list (and maps) of important environmental locations in Long Island Sound, including good areas for birds, fish and other life forms. This list may be useful in the future if possible competing uses of these waters might arise, or if any of these areas are somehow damaged, or are put at risk of damage. This list of good locations may be of some long-term value to preserving the Sound, as we have known it.
So now is the time for your voice to be heard, especially if you care about any area of LIS! Please "VOTE" informally for your favorite good bird watching places (or/and good fishing places) in Long Island Sound (by sending us a simple email, as described at this webpage: LISLocations.blogspot.com <http://lislocations.blogspot.com/> ). Just email to us the name(s) of one or more LIS locations which are good for birds, maybe where you like to watch birds, and optionally including which bird species favor these locations, etc. Follow the simple instructions at this website (listed above). Thank you, and Seasons Greetings, Tom Robben Research Committee robben99 AT gmail.com -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
