Peter's posting to the NYC/NYS internet listserves:
Dear Birders of Brooklyn,NYC and NYS:
I am bringing you this critical issue to your attention over Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Fields grasslands ( formerly an decommissioned airport) now threatened by potential development discussions ( info also based from the recent Blue Ribbon Panel set up by US Senator Charles Schumer and Congressman Anthony Weiner, which last Tuesday eve I attended a listening session/public hearing at Floyd and Mr Markowitz spoke as well) ). Brooklyn Borough President, Marty Markowitz a NYC elective city official is trying to tell the Federal Gateway National Parks Service to turn it into more recreation amusement emphasis. Floyd Bennett is located on the southeastern part of Brooklyn , NYC, a critical bird migration hotspot where for the few past weeks Buff-breasted Sandpipers were feeding right next to the Aviator Sports complex ( which itself opened the Pandora's box for more potential commercial development ). Mr Markowitz's zeal obviously has no idea of the potential habitat loss and impact to threatened and fragile grass birds that use Floyd Bennett , especially rare birds including RED KNOT(seen on the runway in 2007) and Upland Sandpiper recorded on the Ebird Cornell database ( Check out the list http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ and see "View and Explore Data"). Since 2003, over 215 species have touched down or used Floyd for breeding or migration purposes.The grasslands have been impacted over the years and it needs a buffer perimeter which currently is impacted by overabundance of speeding cars and motorcycles ( the main old airport runway ) using Aviator Sports purposes.
I am hoping you will be deeply concerned and act on Brooklyn Birds' behalf to stop this nonsense and save the last grassland spot in Brooklyn and which grasslands of this size is rare for NYC. This preserve , though it is not pretty in some spots, is a rich bird spot where in recent days also saw Bairds Sandpiper and numerous raptors ( frequent Peregrine Falcon) as well as some wintering owls ( Saw-whet, Long-eared, Snowy sometimes, Barn and on occasions Short-eared) . I hope you will act on behalf of New York City birders. You can contact Mr Markowitz's office or further, contact Gateway NPS administrator ( google Gateway National Park or NYC Harbors Parks ) or the Director of the Interior Ken Salazar. A city official should not delve into Federal natural habitat ( but they do).
Regards,
Peter Dorosh
President
Brooklyn Bird Club

Floyd Bennett 'next hot spot'
By RICH CALDER

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz wants the feds to turn Floyd Bennett Field into the next hot green space.
The city made Governors Island and Brooklyn Bridge Park overnight hot spots this summer by boosting transit services there -- especially ferries.
Markowitz said that bringing ferry, water taxi and jitney service to the 1,400-acre former Navy airfield in Mill Basin that's now an underused federal park must be considered. Increasing its limited bus service and creating bike lanes leading to and from it are other options, he said.
He plans to make his pitch tomorrow night during a public hearing on the future of Floyd Bennett Field, the borough's biggest open space and one of the nation's lowest ranked federal parks. It begin 6 pm at Aviator Sports Center on Flatbush Avenue.
The pitch, Markowitz says, will also focus on how Floyd Bennett Field is perfect for hosting “cultural celebrations” and other big events, such as "antique shows" similar to a famous three-week show held annually in Brimfield, Mass. that attracts 6,000 vendors and hundreds of thousands of visitors.
The meeting will be run by a Blue Ribbon Panel created by Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Anthony Weiner to guide the National Park Service draft a plan on how to boost services and cleanup Floyd Bennett Field. Improving transit options and educational opportunities at the park are among the ideas the panel says it plans to review.
Since the park is on the Queens border, a similar meeting will be held in that borough on Sept. 27.
Floyd Bennett Field was the city’s first commercial airport. In 1972, it became part of the federal Gateway National Recreation Area system.

Markowitz wants large antiques show, drive-in movies at Floyd Bennett Field

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz wants the feds to turn Brooklyn’s biggest open space into a massive antiques road show.
During a meeting Monday night on the future of Floyd Bennett Field in Mill Basin, Markowitz said the 1,358-acre former Navy airfield is perfect for hosting antique shows similar to a famous three-week show held annually in Brimfield, Mass. that attracts 6,000 vendors and hundreds of thousands of visitors.
“I’m not talking about a flea market,” he later told the Post. “This could be huge.”
His other pitches for the underused site include giving the borough its own drive-in movie theater there and also using the parkland for cultural celebrations and even family reunions.
A blue ribbon panel created by Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Anthony Weiner is pushing the National Parks Service for greater cleanup and to boost transit services and programming at Floyd Bennett Field, which is the lowest-rated federal park in the nation.
About 100 community members convened at the Aviator Sports Center to discuss the park’s future and make recommendations on how to improve.
Among the better ideas brought up at a table of local residents that this reporter sat in on was changing the main entrance to a little-used roadway near heavily-used Aviator, instead of the existing entrance further south on Flatbush Avenue by the Marine Parkway Bridge into the Rockaways.
Others include adding ferry service, increasing bike access and opening up access to the entire waterfront.
A second community meeting will be held Monday at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I took the liberty of correlating Specis Great Conservation Need ( SGCN) bird species listed by the NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation ( see link above) with the Cornell's EBIRD first sightings list for Floyd Bennett and found that 69 out of 118 SGCN bird species were recorded in Floyd since 2003. Of course this is not counting rare or extralimital bird species like Connecticut Warbler, Ross Goose, etc. not on SGCN. And also what OTHER non bird species on the SGCN seen in Floyd? was there ever a bio blitz done and I think there was one very recent ? hmm, just a thought for more data to present as an logical argument for total PRESERVATION or protection of the core grasslands + a buffer perimeter at least.
That means 58 % of SGCN bird species seen in Floyd Bennett which makes it a avian wonderland. A real treasure we have to fight for before its ruined .It has always been my personal opinion that Floyd ( along with JBWR) should be National Wildlife Refuges , NOT Recreation Area administered by National Parks Service. There is greater protective restrictions as NWR and run by better knowledgeable ecological minded US Fish and Wildlife. Up in Rhode Island, there is a former naval airport called NINIGRET -- like Floyd but administered by USFW and they tore up a runway for grassland restoration !! ( I was there after the tear up during a BBC weekend trip).. Its a question of who is the manager running the place.
Hard to believe some of the more common species we take for granted but check out the SGCN list
