Tuesday, 13 October, 2009 - some rarities reported in the region:
Some NYS birders went & waited for and eventually were rewarded with
the lingering Brown-chested Martin at Cumberland Farms in Middleboro
Massachusetts, along with other birds (& birders) there Tuesday: http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/MASS.html#1255471833
Incidentally, this Massachusetts Martin makes that much more
interesting an 11 Oct. report of several (late) Purple Martins from
Fort Tilden, on the Rockaway peninsula of Queens County NY: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ebirdsnyc/message/6955
Most swallows and perhaps especially martins seen right now through
the rest of autumn should be looked at as closely as possible, for
possibilities of well-out-of-usual-range species, however, late Cliff
& Bank Swallow were reliably reported from as far east & north as
Newfoundland, Canada on 11 Oct.: http://groups.google.com/group/nf.birds/browse_thread/thread/8146e910308068cb#
Also a presumed Cliff Swallow in Tompkins County NY Tuesday: http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html#1255458429
and also "Cliff Swallow" in Ohio: http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/OHIO.html#1255382044
and there are some other interesting very recent reports via
multiple birding list-serves of various swallows in the northeastern
sections of N. America.

Good Oct. birding!
