For those familiar with Fort Drum, it was in Training Area 12C just south of Hunter Creek and just southwest of the intersection between Antwerp Road and Zimmer Road (the latter is a dirt road that connects Poagland and Antwerp Roads; it is not named on most maps because it is closed to private vehicles, but you can walk it). I saw it just a few feet off Zimmer Road about 75 yards from Antwerp Road, but it flew a short distance to the west and I could not relocate it during a 90 minute search. Those interested in visiting Fort Drum must obtain a Fort Drum recreation permit, which is available at the Fort Drum Fish and Wildlife web site: www.fortdrum.isportsman.net. This website includes important information about how to access the installation, as well as directions to the Fort Drum Natural Resources Permit Office. The permit office itself is closed indefinitely, but Fort Drum recreation maps, bird checklists, and other information can be obtained at a kiosk adjacent to the office. Unlike in past years, passes are valid on a calendar year basis, so that a pass issued today is good through the end of December. Be aware that it is hunting season, and many hunters use Fort Drum, especially on weekends.
