On Saturday morning, Alan Baczkiewicz found a male WESTERN TANAGER in his
yard on Howard Ave in Williamsville, which is just east of Buffalo. A few
birders made it to his yard to see the bird but it was observed flying off
to the northeast, in the direction of nearby Amherst State Park. About two
hours later, it was refound by Peter Yoerg in the southern part of the park,
where more birders were able to see it. The bird was last reported to the
WNY text alert at 1:30 but may still be around.

 

DIRECTIONS:

Park in the parking lot on Glen Ave on the east side of the creek. Note that
there are no signs that I am aware of indicating the this is the State Park.
There is a nature center, which will confirm that you are in the right
location. Walk northwest across the mowed area to a path that goes into the
woods. Walk north along the creek until you get to the south end of a large
building, known as the tennis building. The bird was seen here, right along
the creek, usually on the east side.

 

We had eight species of warblers in the southern part of the park.

 

Good birding!
