July 6, an AMERICAN AVOCET was found on the Lake Erie shore at Dunkirk Harbor, on the Main Street beach. Two days later on the 8th, likely the same AMERICAN AVOCET was found ten miles up the shore at the mouth of Silver Creek in the Village of Silver Creek. Attempts to relocate the bird were unsuccessful. The evening of June 28, 5 PEREGRINE FALCONS, 2 adults and 3 juveniles, were flying about the Liberty Building in downtown Buffalo. These were certainly the falcons from the Statler Building nest site. One of the juvenile falcons was also reported on July 7, chasing gulls at Times Beach Nature Preserve on the Buffalo waterfront. During the Fourth of July week, a camper in Allegany State Park listed 88 species in the park and surrounding areas. Highlights were 3 OSPREY nests, BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO, BARRED OWL, ACADIAN FLYCATCHER, RED-BR. NUTHATCH, WINTER WREN, SWAINSON'S THRUSH, and 19 warbler species, including NORTHERN PARULA, YELLOW-R. WARBLER, YELLOW-THR. WARBLER, PINE WARBLER, BL. AND W. WARBLER, LA. WATERTHRUSH, MOURNING WARBLER and CANADA WARBLER. July 7 at the Canadaway Creek WMA, south of Dunkirk in the Town of Arkwright, a family of several COMMON RAVENS, 4 ACADIAN FLYCATCHERS, VEERY, WOOD THRUSH, SCARLET TANAGER and 14 warbler species - BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, CHESTNUT-S. WARBLER, MAGNOLIA WARBLER, YELLOW-R. WARBLER, BL.-THR. GREEN WARB., BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER, PINE WARBLER, AMERICAN REDSTART, OVENBIRD, LA. WATERTHRUSH, MOURNING WARBLER, COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, HOODED WARBLER and CANADA WARBLER. And from Amherst, July 6, in the area of Transit and Casey Road, two reports of a white heron; most likely a GREAT EGRET, but possibly an odd-plumage GREAT BLUE HERON. Dial-a-Bird will be updated Thursday evening, July 19. Please call in your sightings by noon Thursday. You may report sightings after the tone.
