Thanks to Meredith Spencer for providing the information below. Cassimer Bar Access Road is public. The land on either side of the road is private. The hawk owl can be seen from the road. There is no excuse for trespassing to see this owl. If you are planning a trip over to Brewster to see it, please conduct your observation according to good birding ethics. We don?t need upset homeowners who can easily feel intruded upon. For the most part, you can see this owl without even getting out of your car.

Hi, The N. Hawk Owl is still near the same place on Cassimir Bar. Three
of us were looking at it from a distance with scope and binocular. The
gentleman who lives in the yellow house drove down to us. He asked what
we were doing and we explained. He said scope and binocular were okay but
he did not want any pictures taken of his property! I told him they prob.
only had the bird and a tree branch in their photo, but he repeated, no
photos of my property. He owns the abandoned brown building that is east
of his home. He said people walked in his drive way and took photos, and
walked in to the other building and never even asked if they could go on
his property!!! We offered to let him look at the bird through the scope,
but he declined. He didn't seem mad, just firm. Meredith Spencer,
