Various birders including Jeff Ellerbusch, Jamie Glydon and Mike Hiotis reported today from Melanie Lane Pond in Hanover Township. Geographically, Melanie Lane and its wetland are in Hanover Township’s eastern most extremity and should not be confused with East Hanover which is a different municipality in Morris County. The bulk of the swallow count, and what is undoubtedly a record Purple Martin count for Morris County (as far as is known), was tallied by Jeff in the late afternoon. Here are the numbers:
17 Killdeer
3 Spotted Sandpiper
3 Solitary Sandpiper
2 Greater Yellowlegs
2 Lesser Yellowlegs
3 Semipalmated Sandpiper
18 Least Sandpiper
1 Pectoral Sandpiper
2 Belted Kingfisher
208 Purple Martin
15 Tree Swallow
2 Bank Swallow
25 Barn Swallow
1 Cliff Swallow

A copy pasted description of the Purple Martin group from my eBird report- “Very large gathering- birds started filtering in above the Melanie Ln area at around 6:40, with numbers peeking about 20 min later…birds were extremely high at this point. Eventually PUMA group starting lowering and finally settled on power lines and a building top a few hundred feet north of Melanie Ln. A count of 192 PUMA on power lines and building rooftop, with additional 16 in the air, make up this count.”
