Re: [nysbirds-l] [Mearnsbirdclub] Request from Blue Chip Farm

I find it shocking that anyone would enter the horse fields. I hope everyone gets the message that this is entirely inappropriate behavior. The folks at Blue Chip Farm have welcomed birders for more than 35 years. Let's not ruin it! Seth Ausubel Forest Hills, NY On Jun 2, 2012, at 8:50 PM, w
