WARBLER was discovered at Nature View Park in the Town of Amherst. This uncommon and decreasing warbler species was found by following an obscure dirt road on the north side of North French Road between Sweethome and Campbell Blvd. The road is marked by a sign for an archery range. Drive to the end of the road to a parking area, where there is a network of trails. The GOLDEN-WING. WARBLER was in a brush area near the power lines. An impressive count of over 80 breeding species have been found in the Nature View Park, including RED-TAILED HAWK, BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO, YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO, BL.-GR. GNATCATCHER, "BREWSTER'S WARBLER" and many BLUE- WINGED WARBLERS. Breeding Bird Atlas studies in the Niagara County Towns of Hartland and Royalton were highlighted by the confirmation of YELLOW-B. SAPSUCKERS breeding near Middleport. In the Niagara Frontier, sapsuckers were previously known to breed only at higher elevations than the Lake Ontario Plains. Other breeding species in Hartland included RED-EYED VIREO, TUFTED TITMOUSE, AMERICAN REDSTART, HOODED WARBLER, SCARLET TANAGER and NORTHERN CARDINAL. Also this week, a GREAT EGRET at a pond in a yard in the Town of Pendleton. Dial-a-Bird will be updated Thursday evening, July 24. Please call in your sightings by noon Thursday.
