The Wainfleet Bog, at Highway 3 and Wilson Road in the Ontario, is
the region's unique location for WHIP-POOR-WILLS - six were heard
calling from Wilson Road the evening of June 8.
GREAT EGRETS continue to roost and disperse on the upper Niagara
River and at Woods Marsh in the Tonawanda Wildlife Management Area.
Also this week, in the Town of Tonawanda, an unexpected NORTHERN
