The two adult Cliff Swallows observed two weeks ago by Jeffery Ward and I continue on the Parade Grounds of Van Cortlandt Park. Amazingly, they are joined by an immature type bird. This (strongly?) suggests a successful NYC breeding pair. I arrived this morning at 7:45 and they were not present feeding among the other three common swallows which led me to believe that there previous appearance was an anomaly. They seem to arrive on the field later in the morning which is consistent with our previous observation. They associate with the other three swallow species at the south end of the Parade Grounds for those interested in seeing them.
