Back on July 11, the surprise of the summer, an adult POMARINE JAEGER, photographed in New York waters on Lake Erie, about three miles off Buffalo's outer harbor. Historically, a POMARINE JAEGER specimen was collected from Allegany State Park in June 1968, and a PARASITIC JAEGER was observed on the Buffalo waterfront 21 years ago in July. July 18, on the Lake Erie shore at Woodlawn Beach State Park in Hamburg, two separate reports of 3 AMERICAN AVOCETS. Southbound shorebirds increase as August approaches. From Cayuga Pool and Kumpf Marsh in the Iroquois Refuge, and flooded fields on nearby Griswold Road in Royalton, at least ten shorebird species included SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, SOLITARY SANDPIPER, PECTORAL SANDPIPER and STILT SANDPIPER. Also in the Iroquois Refuge, up to 15 BLACK TERNS, including juveniles, at Cayuga Pool, and 3 ACADIAN FLYCATCHERS continue along the Onondaga Trail. In the Tonawanda Wildlife Management Area, five OSPREY nests have yielded seven nestlings and fledges. Also this week - in Chautauqua County, MERLINS have nested this summer on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institute. An AMERICAN BITTERN has been feeding in a backyard pond on Ruie Road in North Tonawanda. Also in North Tonawanda, 63 CLIFF SWALLOW nests on the Taylor Street bridge to Tonawanda Island.
