Hi all,
Made an attempt at terns yesterday afternoon at Nicerkson beach, just saw Common Terns and 1 or 2 least terns. At Lido Beach Marine Conservation Area I saw Forster's terns and the only other thing of note was a Tricoloured Heron in the marshes. ________________________________ From: John Askildsen <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 4:14 PM Subject: [nysbirds-l] purple martin in downstate mainland NY as far as I know, the only purple martin colonies in lower mainlaind NYS are in Rye, Westchester County, on the immediate soundshore and one colony in Ulster County alongside the NYS Thruway. so to hear of a thriving colony in putnam county is quite newsworthy, IMO. Perhaps tom burke, rich guthrie or others, can chime in on this.
