Re: [mou-net] RN Phalarope, Wash. Co., Old Hudson Rd

2023-08-21 Thread Michelle Terrell
Hello,
Regarding the perception of public access to the pond on North Hudson Road
-- not all public land is accessible land.  I regularly work in MnDOT right
of way and on other types of city/county/state held parcels that have
safety and access constraints.  In this case the parcel contains a MnDOT
drainage ditch.  Further the mapping shared from the Washington County
website is not accurate and a portion of what is mapped as MnDOT is indeed
private land that has been reconveyed to the landowner.

For the sake of other birders who would like to view this location and the
birds that it attracts, please continue to view the pond from the pull-off
on Hudson Road and stay on the road side of the fence.

Best,
Michelle

Hi,

I've created an interactive map that allows one to easily see the property
ownership in this case. The map uses data directly from Washington County.
Anyone can access it with this link:

https://arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=36dea0ed341c41bfa9177fd55b95c8eb

The two parcels in green are owned by MN DOT (the two knife blade-shaped
pieces) and the City of Lake Elmo (the "T" shaped piece that the MN DOT
pieces surround). The magenta lines are the other surrounding parcels.
There *appears* to be sufficient public land one right up to the pond.

eBird today cites a Wilson's Phalarope at that location, seen by 2 people.
. Are there two phalarope species on the same pond?

Y'all are right about this being an awkward location; it all seemed like
private property to me and the road is busy.

You are correct that this pond is within private property. There is a small
pull-off on Hudson Blvd (44.949281,-92.892097) where people observe with
spotting scopes from the roadside. Unfortunately, I have observed one
person trespassing here to get better views/photos and had to convince
another not to trespass (He thought that because there were no "Posted"
signs he could do what he wanted).

As I write this, I'm looking up the property ownership here and, strangely,
I found that there is in fact a sliver of land owned by the city of Lake
Elmo. Despite this, I highly discourage anyone from hopping any fences to
get a better view. This is an active farm and the owner is regularly
tending to their fields. Please do not give birders a bad name by
trespassing.

Tom, and anyone else who may be curious,

The pond is downslope of the road and scopeable from there (there are wide
enough shoulders for pulling over, but it can also be a busy road, so be
cautious of course).  I've visited this site many times and never felt a
need to ask for access for viewing beyond what I can see from the road, and
I'm assuming all reports have been without special access but I'm not sure
(as I haven't been there to see this particular bird).

The pond from which this Phalarope has been reported looks like it is private 
property.  Are people asking the farmer for permission or is there some sort of 
public access?  Thanks,
