I believe Robert Moses Field 5 will be opening at noon today, 9.1.11 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of patricia lindsay Sent: Thursday, September 01, 2011 11:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [nysbirds-l] Access to Robert Moses and Captree SPs, Suffolk Co.
Access to the above parks remains limited as of this morning. At Robert Moses, a blockade on the roadway before Field 4 is still in place, preventing access to Fields 4 and 5 (including the hawkwatch and lighthouse areas), while "cleanup and restoration" continues. The police there yesterday told me they hoped the work would be finished by the weekend. Fields 2 and 3 are open. The 4-wheel drive access road to Democrat Point is still closed and signed "Area closed due to tidal conditions". Of course, one can always hike out there and enjoy having the place to oneself! Captree State Park is closed to everyone except charter boat patrons and crew. They have no electricity or water. A park worker there told me they also hope to be open by the weekend but they could not be certain at this point. I only had time for a brief ride-around; from the car, at least, it appeared to be very quiet birdwise.
