Re: [nysbirds-l] Prospect Park Progne

Well the second day after the martin houses went back up this season at Croton Point Park a purple martin has been photographed. Nice to have them back albeit not a Cuban / Caribbean / Sinaloan / or Grey-Breasted martin — but then we don’t have Doug G up here!! Good Spring (winter) birding

A group of birders is currently looking at the intriguing Progne martin in Prospect Park. It is perched in a tree overhanging the NW corner of the lake. Nice comparison showing its apparently relatively small size for a martin. Good Birding -Doug Gochfeld. Brooklyn, NY. -- NYSbirds-L List Info:
