Introduction to the series: Like geocaches, birds are everywhere. So many people just walk right past birds and geocaches without ever knowing they are there. This series will sometimes test your observational skills.
About this cache: You are looking for an ammo can hidden in something else at Staatsburgh - Mills Norrie State Park. The combination is 1938 – the year the land was donated to the state of New York.
Park in the appropriate parking lot – NOT roadside.
