Suggs Coverage: Western New York and adjacent Ontario Website: www.BuffaloOrnithologicalSociety.org August, 13, 2020 The Buffalo Bird Report is a service provided by your Buffalo Museum of Science and the Buffalo Ornithological Society. To contact the Science Museum, call 896-5200. Optimistically, bringing the Buffalo Bird Report back online. The mid-August highlight comes from the north and east of the Niagara Frontier Region. A SWALLOW-TAILED KITE apparently flew across the closed US-Canada border, and has been residing at the Luther Marsh Preserve, west of Toronto, since late July. And now, in New York State, two other SWALLOW- TAILED KITES were found just east of the BOS study area, in the Orleans County Town of Kendall, at Kendall Creek Road and the Orleans- Monroe Countyline. The KITES were found in the first week of August, and were still present on the 10th. There are only two modern records of SWALLOW-TAILED KITES in the BOS archives. Both records were brief flyovers of this southern US and tropical species. Birders to the Kendall location must absolutely respect the private property and farmland in this area. And, keep in mind, where else might this stunning species be hiding Western New York? You may report sightings after the tone. Thank you for calling and reporting. - End Transcript -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
