Mr. Garland said that that location offers a lot for the birds in that it is high up, very open, close to the water, etc. Greg said his concern is public safety. He said the parking area was enlarged, but not enough so that people park on the edge of the road. He said many times there are up to twelve cars and 20 people in that area. He felt that the stand is likely to draw more viewers and worsen the parking situation.
Many people drive up and park, then walk, ride bike, etc.
There are always children, dogs, adults, etc. Greg said he feels that the area offers many dead trees that would be good natural nesting sites. He has seen Osprey there, and would like to know from where they are coming. Wibs asked about other sites that draw viewers. Mr. Garland said the site along the sandbar on an old telephone pole draws visitors.
