Re: [cayugabirds-l] anyone love trying to identify bird nests from photos?

Glenn, Yes, Contact the ECO. The ECO, Rangers, are also State Police, so give them the information about inaction by local LEO, Law Enforcement Officer. Nigel (Ranger Joan Oldrodyd on BCC - Tioga, Tompkins Cty)   For example: our vol fire department spent several hours putting out a trash burn. The Tompkins County Sheriff who showed up didn't even know that trash burning was illegal - so our Chief had to educate them about this law.   DEC Region 7 Offices - New York State Department of Environmental  https://www.dec.ny.gov/about/615.html   Central Dispatch for rescues, they should also be able to reach the ECO in your area. In the case of a wildland rescue/lost person call both local 911 then Forest Ranger Emergency Contact:     518-408-5850     518-891-0235 (Adirondacks)   https://www.dec.ny.gov/press/press.html - for Ranger and ECO activities.   > On 2019-07-20 21:40, Glenn Wilson wrote: >> My neighbor shot and wounded a downy off our feeders.

Hard to believe the sheriff would not act but I see that level of enforcement in Schuyler as well. The tried and true response is to call the State Police. In your case, your local DEC ECO would have been the one to call as they enforce wildlife laws, shooting within 500 ft of an occupied dwelling and more. > > Best, > John > --- > John and Sue Gregoire > Field Ornithologists > Kestrel Haven Migration Observatory > 5373 Fitzgerald Rd > Burdett, NY 14818 > 42.443508000, -76.758202000 > "Create and Conserve Habitat" > > > On 2019-07-20 21:40, Glenn Wilson wrote: >> My neighbor shot and wounded a downy off our feeders.
