[nysbirds-l] Purple Martins Return Today to Croton Point

[Anne Swaim]

Glad for eBird report by Michael Grossman this morning of two Purple
Martins on the nesting tower by the entrance booth at Croton Point Park.

Fifth year for martin occupancy at this tower, established by Saw Mill
River Audubon with funding support from the Feed the Birds store in
Croton-on-Hudson and the Westchester Parks Foundation.

Of note is a second nesting tower up for third year at Rockwood Hall State
Park to the south along the Hudson.  Last year, second year, this tower
also attracted nesting Purple Martins so hopefully they will have returns
this year as well.

(Note that one martin decoy is present on both towers and both decoys have
inadvertently been eBirded in past years...)

Re: [nysbirds-l] Purple Martins at Lemon Creek, Richmond Co.

[Seth Wollney]

Mathew,

This dates are when Howard Cleaves set up the houses.  He had his first colony 
in his front yard on Purdy Place in 1917 but took it down when he left Staten 
Island. Upon his return in the early 1950's, Cleaves once again set up houses 
but this time put them on Johnston Terrace where they have been since their 
construction. Beside a two-three year period in the early 2000's there have 
been at least a few pairs there every year.

The proper name for the area is indeed Prince's Bay... named for which English 
prince was around at the time it was named.  Princess Bay is an incorrect 
monicker resulting from poor annunciation.

[nysbirds-l] Purple Martins at Lemon Creek, Richmond Co.

[Matthew Wills]

We stopped off at the Purple Martin colony at Lemon Creek Park on Staten Island 
yesterday for the first time in four years. Glad to see the birds are still 
returning. There were fledglings out and about, and, judging from parents still 
entering nests regularly, nestlings to be fed. 

There are at least a half dozen Purple Martin nests in the houses; counting is 
complicated by all the coming and going. House Sparrows and European Starlings 
have taken a good number of the nest spots. 

In Birds of the New York Area (1964), Ball cites a long study that marked a 
single pair of nesting Purple Martins at Princess Bay* (which Lemon Creek feeds 
into) in 1917. Then nothing until 1951, when 2 pairs nested. In 1961 there were 
50 pairs. 

*"Princess Bay" is found on older maps, but it is now more generally called 
"Prince's Bay."

Happy 4th!

We stopped off at the Purple
Martin colony at Lemon Creek Park on Staten Island yesterday for the first time
in four years. Glad to see the martins are still returning. There were 
fledglings
out and about, and, judging from parents still entering nests regularly,

counting is difficult with all the activity. House Sparrows and European

[nysbirds-l] Purple Martins at Lemon Creek, Richmond Co.

[Matthew Wills]

We stopped off at the Purple Martin colony at Lemon Creek Park on Staten Island 
yesterday for the first time in four years. Glad to see the birds are still 
returning. There were fledglings out and about, and, judging from parents still 
entering nests regularly, nestlings to be fed. 

There are at least a half dozen Purple Martin nests in the houses; counting is 
complicated by all the coming and going. House Sparrows and European Starlings 
have taken a good number of the nest spots. 

In Birds of the New York Area (1964), Ball cites a long study that marked a 
single pair of nesting Purple Martins at Princess Bay* (which Lemon Creek feeds 
into) in 1917. Then nothing until 1951, when 2 pairs nested. In 1961 there were 
50 pairs. 

*"Princess Bay" is found on older maps, but it is now more generally called 
"Prince's Bay."

Happy 4th!

[nysbirds-l] Purple martins croton point

[Larry Trachtenberg]

The "colony" seems to have grown exponentially overnight. I saw 3 birds (none 
adult M) this morning in my ten minute coffee stop.  A friend I saw there 
believes he may have had a fourth, an adult male, a bit earlier and will check 
his photos. Two martins appeared to be going in and out of "gourds" to left and 
right of a tree swallow occupied gourd. Clearly a tiff going on. Nota Bene:  on 
the roosting pole there is a DECOY adult Male martin which I have been told has 
been reported to E-bird (not sure it "counts"). If successful this would be the 
first (or at least currently extant) Westchester colony to my knowledge. The 
gourd "complex" is right by the office as you drive in. Next week is Clearwater 
Festival so chance to see some great music: Richard Thompson!, Los Lobos,  Nick 
Lowe, Joan Osborne, Dar Williams, Alejandro Escovedo, Lake Street Dive, Blind 
Boy Paxton, Josh Ritter, etc. in an amazing setting (and purple martins and 
bobolinks to boot), not to mention Blue Pig Ice Cream.

[nysbirds-l] Purple Martins - New Paltz

[Richard Guthrie]

Thanks to the care and maintenance by the Thruway and nearby neighbors, the
Purple Martin colony at the east side of the New Paltz Thruway exit lane is
doing very well this year.

With birds coming and going to the many occupied next boxes and gourds, it
is hard to get a good count, but I'd estimate that there are at least a
dozen pairs in residence, more likely more.

The birds can easily be seen from the shoulder of the exit land (after
exiting the toll booths) or from the Park & Ride lot on the west side of
the lanes. You can get much closer to the birds at the end of Paradies Lane
off Rt. 299. The good folks nearest to the martin colony welcome viewers.
But there's no need to go off the public road since the martins frequently
fly up to the utility lines and shrubs close to the road.

The heron colony north of Rt. 299 seems to be thriving as well.

[nysbirds-l] Purple Martins - New Paltz, Ulster County 

Upstate travellers might be interested in checking out the PURPLE MARTIN
colony at the New Paltz exit of the NYS Thruway (Exit 18). With an easy
off-on, you can go through the toll plaza and pull off to the right
shoulder or into the Park & Ride lot on the left. The colony of about 20
pairs occupy the houses and maybe the gourds put up for them by the Thruway
Authority and maintained by the neighbors. If you want a closer look, you
can go to the traffic light ahead, turn right and take the first right turn
onto Paradies Road - then go to the end. The neighbors there are very
birder (and martin) friendly.

Yesterday, I happened to look over to the nest boxes and noticed a gray
squirrel climbing up one of the poles. I went over and chased the squirrel
down That was not difficult to do since squirrels do not like to be
cornered up a tree - or pole - isolated from other trees. The squirrel
quickly descended the pole and scurried over to the woodlot. One of the
neighbors came over to see what was happening so I mentioned the squirrel
problem with a suggestion that they put up a baffle to keep it and other
predators out of the nest boxes.

While in the area, you might like to check out the very easy viewing
opportunity for RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS at Weston Road, east of the martin
colony. Refer to your eBird Hotspot map for directions.
