Highlights of reports received July 29 through August 5 from the
Niagara Frontier Region.
August 5 at the Batavia Waste Water Plant, a well described and
unprecedented summer report of an AMERICAN PIPIT on the dikes. A
reported FOX SPARROW in the Town of Hamburg on the 5th would also be
unprecedented at this time of year. In the Town of Amherst, July 31, an
early migrant YELLOW-B. FLYCATCHER in a Williamsville yard; apparently
the first July record of YELLOW-B. FLYCATCHER in the BOS archives.
From Genesee County, at Goinlocks Pond Nature Sanctuary in Attica, a
SHARP-SH. HAWK nest site with two adults and three young. Interesting
observation from the City of Olean - the previously reported nesting
MERLINS feeding young while in flight. And in Buffalo, the PEREGRINE
FALCON family still in the area of the nest box on the UB Main Street
Campus.
Shorebird highlights this week included a SHORT-B. DOWITCHER plus
SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS and LEAST SANDPIPERS on the Lake Erie shore at the
Saint Columbans property in the Town of Sheridan, and two STILT
SANDPIPERS at Windmill Point, also on Lake Erie, in Fort Erie, Ontario.
Other reports - 10 GREAT EGRETS at the Batavia Waste Water
Plant. Two BALD EAGLES at Dunkirk Harbor, and a single BALD
EAGLE at Saint Columbans. And, an unexpected CASPIAN TERN
passing over Shirley Avenue in Buffalo.
Dial-a-Bird will be updated Thursday evening, August 12. Please call in
your sightings by noon Thursday. You may report sightings after the
tone. Thank you for calling and reporting to Dial-a-Bird.
