[nysbirds-l] Cliff Swallows (Presumably Nesting) in Queens
So once again I wasn't at the right place at the right time for a Sandwich Tern. That's always the way it is - except after Hurricane Irene. What I did do was turn to some local things. I remembered that someone (I think I know who) had reported Cliff Swallows nesting in the Alley Creek area in northeastern Queens a few years ago. So I wanted to follow up on that. After standing along the creek, north of Northern Blvd. for a little while, I finally caught sight of two individuals (and possibly a third). All appeared to go to the bridge that runs over the creek on Northern Blvd. I think it's okay to divulge that, if in fact they're nesting there. With thousands of cars driving over them every day, I don't think a few birders are going to be a problem. I should point out that I have never seen them from the easily accessible platform south of the APEC nature center. It does seem that you would have to do the sometimes dicey crossing of Northern Blvd. But it's an alternative for Queens and Long Island residents that want to see Cliff Swallows and would prefer to avoid the Throgs Neck Bridge crossing. Another note. There's a breeding plumaged drake Ruddy Duck still in the creek, left over from winter.

[nysbirds-l] Cliff Swallows at Croton Point Park
A pair of Cliff Swallows repeatedly visited a small muddy rain pool at one of the ball fields at Croton Point yesterday. Someone said they are building a nest on the route 9 bridge not far away. This may well continue for a few more days.

[nysbirds-l] cliff swallows: Bridgehampton
En route to work on Wednesday morning, I encountered a flock of some 75-100 cliff swallows above the high school. There used to be a colony in Bridgehampton, but I haven't seen or heard about it for years, so I was pleased to see this large a group. Not sure where they may settle, but hoping that they can put the South Fork Museum swift nest box to use. *Bruce Horwith* *16 Salt Marsh Path* *East Hampton, NY 11937* *(631) 599-0040* -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
