I just saw this blog on the ABA Blog about damage done to West Pond of
Jamaica Bay NWR by Hurricane Sandy. I have never been there so I can't
speak for it from personal experience but I have read many articles and
birding reports about West Pond. It is an essential stop-over site for
shorebirds and breeding ground for many of New York's rarer species. Many
amazing birds have shown up here over the years. It would be a disaster on
top of a disaster if the West Pond is not restored. The coalition is asking
for online signatures and currently only has half of the number they need.

Hope I didn't break any posting rules. Check out the ABA Blog for more
details.
