June 28, an AMERICAN AVOCET was reported on the Main Street Beach at

Lakeview Park on Sugarloaf Street. One of the first summer records of
this species.
And again on the 28th, in Allegany State Park, the first report this
season of YELLOW-THR. WARBLER, at Red House Lake.
In Chautauqua County this week, 1 adult and 5 sub-adult BALD EAGLES
congregated at the Saint Columbans property on Route 5 in the Town of
Sheridan. Another sub-adult BALD EAGLE at the mouth of Silver Creek,
along with a RED-HEADED WDPKR. And, COMMON MERGANSERS on Lake Erie at
both Saint Columbans and Silver Creek.
Reports from the upper Niagara River - 74 GREAT EGRETS at the Motor
Island heronry. 497 D.-CREST. CORMORANTS at Buckhorn Island State Park
at the north end of Grand Island, and a very high count of 80 CLIFF
