Two Cliff Swallows with other more-regular swallows as reported to
this list earlier by Nadir Sourgi were still present, flying low
around the SE quadrant (areas where no sports were being played at the
later hour) of the Parade Ground ballfields, at Van Cortlandt Park,
Bronx Co., late in the day. Although the species has bred in the
Bronx, & may have attempted to in the west Bronx, it is at least
uncommon if not somewhat rare in this month. At least 3 of us were
observing in the 4-5 p.m. hour.
The Parade Ground part of that park is adjacent to Broadway (yep, the
same long thoroughfare that runs past Times Square, when it gets into
midtown Manhattan).
good birds,
