This is a follow up to Andrew's post as well as Ken and Sue's. Having dipped on the Cliff Swallow in the AM. I made and a return trip to Hempstead Lake in the PM.(Around one). Walking to the South pond to retry for the CLSW I met up with Karen Fung and Bob Berlingeri who had just seen the Cliff Swallow. Positioning ourselves on the northeast shore the waiting game began. Tree Swallows were in adundance. A single Bank Swallow made an appearance followed by a flyby Barn Swallow. Northern Rough-winged Swallow(s) on MacDonald's and South Pond. Finally the Cliff Swallow appeared put in a brief view and was refound by myself after all left in the NW quadrant of the South Pond. Pine Warblers, a single Palm Warbler, numerous Eastern Phoebes, Brown Creepers, one Merlin, Golden- crowned Kinglets, and a Yellow- bellied Sapsucker made for a nice day of birding. Robert A.
