The first ASY male or scout was observed flying overhead around 10:00 am this morning at the Lake Waramaug Country Club Golf Course. Ironically Marvelwood School's Avian Ambassadors Community Service team was erecting a new gourd rack to replace the outdated housing when fellow faculty member Caleb May asked, "Is that a Purple Martin circling above us with a few Tree Swallows?"
I heard from another person on Jennings Road in Kent that they had about five martins circling above them when they were putting their gourds up this afternoon.
About a week early for the northwest corner of the state.
