I am more amazed there are beaches that strewn with litter in the U.S. Makes me appreciate the ones we have in Fl.
This is in Jersey City on the Hudson River. NOt a beach in the conventional sense. Not an excuse for stuff thrown in the river but its not a swimming beach. BTW, as a warning to anyone who may want to locate the bird for photography, the birder who is quoted in the article was creating quite a ruckous last winter over photographers allegedly getting too close and/or using flash on the snowy owl that appeared in this general area. I believe he called the police several times.
