With all the excitement about the probable Gray-breasted Martin at Prospect
Park I haven't seen any posts about the Red-throated Loon there. Also had a
flock of Pine Siskins there. Both seen while watching the martin.

Gray-breasted Martin occurs in Mexico, for example along the Gulf Coast
within about 150 km of the US-MX border, so it's also in North America.
eBird also shows a historical record for Rio Grande City (Starr Co, TX) in
the late 19th Century, which appears to be the origin of Gray-breasted
Martin

Doug Gochfeld and some others are now tentatively calling the Prospect Park
Lake Martin a Gray-breasted Martin, a species found in South and Central
Americas. eBird hasn't any sightings in the US listed for this species
even in southernmost Texas.
The Q train stop at Parkside is the closest

The Martin was still being seen by Matthieu Benoit, Janet Labelle and I through
about 6:50 this evening. Toward the end of the day, it was foraging more over
the north side of the peninsula.
Good Birding,

I have a question.
Could this be just a juvenile male Purple Martin who is in the process of
turning into an adult?
Last year, I suspected that Purple Martin was nesting in Brooklyn, somewhere
close to Prospect park.
On April 28, two of them were seen at the peninsula (south part of the park)

Ryan Zucker reports that the martin is currently foraging by Duck Island near
the eastern end of the lake, likely visible from the southern shore or the
Peninsula. Good luck to those who chase, and be vigilant for any audio
recording or dropped DNA sample opportunities in addition to photo

few swallows are perched at yesterday’s morning martin perch spot. Others
are also looking at other potential sunbathing perched around the park’s
