He said that the road on the south side of the pond was off-limits for liability reasons, and actually part of skypark property, which he said extended half way into the pond. He claimed the road was illegally put in recently, and that their fence was improperly moved south. He also said that this area would shortly be fenced off. Since he used the word "litigation" several times, it seems quite possible to me that his statements may be in some legal dispute, but I certainly didn't want to argue with him. Of perhaps more concern was a reference to "illegal ponds" (which apparently the quarry which used to be here was supposed to fill in); if that represents a possible threat to the pond itself, maybe Audubon needs to take a look. Anyway, I didn't get a chance to look much for Bittern there. I also stopped by the Coyote Creek Golf Course -- no Grackles, but at least 11 (and maybe 15) Hooded Mergansers. I also didn't find Grackles at Parkway Lakes, which did have 18 American White Pelicans. Al Eisner _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
