Maybe I was lucky but I knew that it would do no good to talk to the guy blocking the road so I parked my car and just walked in, actually I ran most of the way as it was clear that the tide was going to peak early. [I can think of no valid reason why one would be prevented from walking in, children were feeding the ducks at the pond and most birders are at least as responsible as the average child.] There were in fact many parking places available at the duck pond and in the lot near the mouth of the harbor [the later may be of concern as one would have to drive past birders standing in the road but I see no reason why one would not be allowed to park at the Duck Pond]. Thanks to Les Chibana most who stood the vigil near where the Black Rail had been last seen were rewarded with at least a glimpse and it seldom gets much better than that.
