Alan/Larry/All,
Based on the behaviors that I've been observing, it appears that the Red
Crossbills are already nesting. Last winter, when we had huge numbers of
Red Crossbills nesting from Long Lake to Minerva, I began to see juveniles
by the 3rd week of February and continued to see them int
A Lapland Longspur was with 30 + Horned Larks at the Coast Guard Station,
had relocated from the median.

To Michael's observation re: Park Police.
I personally did not have any encounters but many birders did today.
I have never seen the Park Police this aggressive as I have seen them today
at West End Jones Beach. Some of the reasons some birders were stopped for
bordered on ludicrous.
For example
Have not the park police forces ceased to exist as a separate entity, having
been absorbed into their respective county police forces? There might be some
bitterness among them.

Every once in a while they get a newbie who is trying to prove themselves,
I ran into itat Robert Moses a couple of years ago. They are technically
correct they just haven't learned to exercise judgement yet.

I have encountered this same type of absurd aggressive behavior from
them in the same area, but it was also a few years ago. I've thought it
might be a particular superior officer who encourages this harassment.
On another occasion, in freezing weather, kids were doing wheelies in
their cars i
The extra heavy police presence today at West End Jones Beach was due to
the (very belatedly, I hear) taking down of last of the Holiday
Spectacular light show structures. A bad choice of days for them, in the
gusty freezing winds, but if all goes well maybe they will be cleared
out by tomo
