The Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary used to be a closed area - for birds only! Now that is all changing as the sanctuary will be getting trails. It took a change of ordinance but there will 4 trails completed by end of summer. Do the trails and people walking through bother the birds? As long as the people behave and stay on the trails. According to Pete Dunne, director of natural history information for New Jersey Audubon Society:

Many species are forgiving as long as people adhere to a certain pattern of movement. The birds acclimate themselves.

Bird sanctuary will be human-friendly
