Reports from the Niagara Frontier Region, September 16
through September 23.
September 23, at the Erie Basin Marina in Buffalo, an early,
reported SNOW GOOSE with CANADA GEESE.
The first reports of COMMON NIGHTHAWKS this fall came from
Amherst, 5 over Sweethome High School on September 20, and 9
over Eggertsville on the 23Road.
A total of 17 or 18 warbler species were reported this week
from Amherst State Park, Tifft Nature Preserve in Buffalo,
the Lake Ontario shore, and Sinking Ponds in East Aurora. Of
note - a probable, and late, CERULEAN WARBLER on Lovers Lane
Road in the Town of Somerset, and an uncommon in fall CAPE
MAY WARBLER at Sinking Ponds.
Aside from warblers, fall migrants reported at several
locations were, YELLOW-B. SAPSUCKER, BLUE-HEADED VIREO, RED-
EYED VIREO, RED-BR. NUTHATCH, BROWN CREEPER, RUBY-CR.
KINGLET, GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH, SWAINSON'S THRUSH, HERMIT
THRUSH, WOOD THRUSH, LINCOLN'S SPARROW, WHITE-THR. SPARROW,
DARK-EYED JUNCO and ROSE-BR. GROSBEAK.
Also of interest, a SCARLET TANAGER visited a sunflower
feeder near the Lake Ontario shore in the Town of Wilson.
And, a RUBY-T. HUMMINGBIRD in a yard on Shirley Avenue in
Buffalo.
Ten shorebird species at Rock Point Park and the Canal Bank
Road turf farms in Dunnville, Ontario, were highlighted by 6
BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS at Rock Point, plus an adult BALD EAGLE
near Canal Bank Road.
And from Olcott, it was reported that 2 EAGLES were present
and eating fish throughout the summer at Outing Park [?];
these would most likely be sub-adult BALD EAGLES.
Dial-a-Bird will be updated Thursday evening, September 30.
