CHAT, SEDGE WREN and UPLAND SANDPIPER. June 27, in Ontario near Rock Point Park, two CATTLE EGRETS were found in the Town of Dunnville, along Regional Road 3, east of Niece Road. A single CATTLE EGRET has been at this location since June 22. Last year at this time, a CATTLE EGRET was at this same site. On the upper Niagara River, June 24, two BALD EAGLE nestlings were observed in the nest at the north end of Navy Island. The nest may be seen with some difficulty, from the west end of Buckhorn Island State Park on Grand Island. Hike the long trail from the parking lot on the east side of the park near Baseline Road, then continue ten yards past the point where the trail turns right toward the water control structure. These eagles represent the first breeding of the species on the Niagara River since 1947. Upriver at the south end of Grand Island, at the Motor Island heronry, 15 GREAT EGRET nestlings and a single D.- CREST. CORMORANT nestling on June 28. YELLOW-BR. CHAT, SEDGE WREN and UPLAND SANDPIPER continue to be reported at the Tillman Wildlife Management Area in the Town of Clarence. The CHAT has been found in the early morning, beyond the barrier on Shisler Road; keep in mind that the Shisler Road Extension is not within the Wildlife Management Area. The SEDGE WREN, seen carrying food this week, has been in the vicinity of the short boardwalk in the marsh, and UPLAND SANDPIPERS have been seen from the management area, looking toward the private landfill property. Also at Tillman, PILEATED WOODPECKER and YELLOW- THR. VIREO. Details of the AMER. WHITE PELICANS mentioned last week - the two pelicans were seen on June 20, in Silver Creek, not Dunkirk Harbor. Other reports - an unexpected SPOTTED SANDPIPER was heard after dark, flying over Shirley Avenue in Buffalo. Also unexpected, a GREAT BLUE HERON was reported twice this month, flying west, low over Bailey and Grover Cleveland in Eggertsville. Along Sheridan Drive near Colvin Blvd. in Tonawanda, a KILLDEER or a KILLDEER CHICK was described. CEDAR WAXWING on the University of Buffalo Main Street Campus. And, among a small flock of CANADA GEESE, an escaped BARNACLE GOOSE has been seen on Ellicott Creek and the Barge Canal near the Twin Cities Memorial Highway in Tonawanda. Dial-a-Bird will not be updated until Thursday evening, July 14. Messages will be checked for any rare reports, and will be noted on the update. You may report sightings after the tone.
