CHAT and WHITE-EYED VIREO. May 15, a very rare WORM-EATING WARBLER was reported at Tifft Nature Preserve in Buffalo. The bird was along the Snakeroot Trail between the bridge and Mosquito Junction. One or possibly 2 BLUE GROSBEAKS were reported again this week. In Chautauqua County, May 10, a BLUE GROSBEAK was at a feeder on Dutch Hollow Road, in the Town of Ellery, just outside Jamestown. A probable BLUE GROSBEAK was reported May 13, also at a feeder, near the Hamburg-Eden townline, not far from where a BLUE GROSBEAK was identified at a feeder in Eden on May 5. Quite a showing for an exceptional species that has only been verified in the BOS archives two times - 1975 and 1999. Elsewhere in Chautauqua County, two good finds on May 8 in the Town of Westfield - a YELLOW-BR. CHAT on Ripley Beach Road, north of Route 5 between the Westfield and Ripley exits of the Thruway, and a WHITE-EYED VIREO on the south side of Belson Road, less than a mile west of Creamery Road. Also, in a yard in Silver Creek, an ORCHARD ORIOLE. A widespread fallout of migrant warblers between the storms on the May 11 contributed to the count at least 28 warbler species this week. On May 8, a very rare yellow form of PALM WARBLER [D.P.HYPOCHRYSEA] was reported on Ide Road in the Town of Newfane in Niagara County. "BREWSTER'S WARBLERS" were found near the Tonawanda Management Area on Ditch Road, just north of Foot Road, and another "BREWSTER'S WARBLER" and a GOLDEN-WING. WARBLER at Tifft Nature Preserve. At Tifft, there was also an unconfirmed report of a KING RAIL at the Mounds. Historically, KING RAILS were known to occur in the Tifft Street Marsh. SCARLET TANAGERS were widely noted starting May 8. BLACK- BILLED CUCKOO at Owens-Bartel Road in the Tonawanda Area. And migrant YELLOW-B. SAPSUCKERS, BLUE-HEADED VIREOS, RUBY- CR. KINGLETS, LINCOLN'S SPARROWS and WHITE-CR. SPARROWS continue to be noted in the region. Missed on last weeks report - an immature PEREGRINE FALCON has replaced the adult PEREGRINE FALCON that had been roosting on the heating plant chimney on the UB Main Street Campus. And on May 8, a unexpectedly high count of 1120 WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS on Lake Ontario at Dietz Road in Porter. Dial-a-Bird will be updated Thursday evening, May 22.
