[nysbirds-l] Brown Pelican continues in Buffalo
The Brown Pelican was still at its usual haunts on the Niagara River in Buffalo this morning. It was observed on the green buoy number 5 today. It has also been seen on the more distant green buoy number 7, where a scope is helpful. If you have a little time, the bird makes rather frequent foraging flights that bring it much closer to the Ontario Street boat launch/Aqua Lane viewing site. It often feeds with or near the cormorants. DIRECTIONS: Heading southbound on I-190, exit at Ontario Street. Turn left at the end of the ramp, then make the first left onto Black Rock Harbor Road to access the waterfront, just before the on-ramp to get on the I-190 northbound. Black Rock Harbor Road takes you back under the I-190. Proceed to the right down Aqua Lane, park, and look for the bird. Heading northbound on I-190, exit at Austin Street. Turn right at the end of the ramp, then immediately turn left onto Niagara Street. Drive about ½ mile and turn left onto Black Rock Harbor Road to access the waterfront, just before the on-ramp to get on the I-190 northbound. Black Rock Harbor Road takes you back under the I-190. Proceed to the right down Aqua Lane, park, and look for the bird. Thanks to Canadian birder, Jeremy Bensette, looking from the Canadian side of the river, for the update. Good birding!
