Cape Cod National Seashore -- Birds
For anyone who may be interested in attending....
"Cape Cod National Seashore Superintendent George Price announced that on Thursday, May 26 the seashore will hold a public meeting to kick off a planning process for shorebird management. The meeting will be held from 5:30 to 7:00 PM at the Salt Pond Visitor Center, 50 Nauset Road at Route 6, Eastham. The public is invited to attend and make comments to inform the development of a comprehensive shorebird management plan/environmental assessment that will protect rare and threatened shorebirds while accommodating recreational use."
I'd like to see a little more conversation about "accommodating recreational use."

Now this thread has really gone to the birds!
|
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

This is from Peter Murray MBBA Race Point Beach Rep.
It looks good right now for a SCV area for Memorial Day weekend, maybe even two, there are around 46 nesting pairs of plovers on the National Seashore and 24 nests (so far) but none scheduled to hatch until after the holiday. Of course there is a nest right by the north side access trail, so enjoy it while you can. Some nests were washed over in the last (storm) high tides, so expect them to attempt to re-nest. Don't shoot the messenger!

Wow! That many nests? I thought these critters were "endangered." BS! |

I truly wish I could get down there for this meeting. If My wife drops the baby before then I will be in Mashpee to work that night anyhow maybe i can parlay that into a visit to Eastham. All depends on the timing of the work I have to get done in Mashpee.

If there is no ORV representation, then the conversation/tone during the meeting can change.

I was planning on buying a seasonal sticker this weekend. They closed the entire north side the day before and Rangers said they'd be closing the rest within a couple days.
Going to wait and see when the beaches re-open to decide if it's even worth it to get a sticker.

Everything is closed except for the access road to High Head. So much for managing for BOTH birds and human access. It's all about the birds now. And with their success means more nests which means more closures.
But as the Ranger said to me as she drove up and down the beach on her ATV, "you can always walk." I don't think she picked up on the irony of her words.

That's right in line with when they kicked us off the beach yesterday to close the rest of the beach.
When we asked the Ranger "So, what's the point in buying a sticker if the beaches are completely closed?" To which he smugly replied, "That's what the parking lots are for." and drove right off.
Most of the Rangers are glorified security guards with way too much power. It's a summer job for them so, with the beaches closed, it's a piece of cake. |

Hey JohnnyD, guess what? Just in time for the July 4th vacation weekend, the Park Service has closed the entire Head of the Meadow parking lot to "protect a pair of freshly hatched chicks." So now, you don't even have the parking lot!

On Sunday they opened up a bit of beach at High Head and the Pole Line Road with some space around Race Point Light.

I think you're onto something with crows. Forget sharks, is it possible to affix freakin' laser beams to a crow's head.
