[Maine-birds] Exeter WTP in NH - RULES - WEEKENDS ONLY & DON'T DRIVE ON DIKES!!!

The recent sighting of the Tufted Duck at the Exeter wastewater
treatment plant on Saturday has brought on a new batch of first time
visitors.  It's great that many got to see this bird over the weekend,
but I need to remind everyone of the rules:

1 - The PLANT IS ONLY OPEN TO BIRDERS ON THE WEEKEND.  They are (still)
in the process of a major renovation and they don't want birders to be
in the way of workers during the week.  The next chance to try to chase
the duck won't come until next Saturday. Hopefully it will stick around.

2 - DON'T DRIVE ON THE DIKES!!!!  This was a major problem on Sunday. 
The plant recently paved the dikes and the gates are generally open, so
it is now easier to think it is OK.  But it is not.  Please park in the
lined parking lot OUTSIDE of the gates and ponds and walk in.

These ponds have been wonderful over the 30+ years I have visited. I
would hate to lose all privileges due to one poorly behaved birder.

Thanks,

Steve Mirick
