Dial-a-Bird is a service provided by your Buffalo Museum of Science
and this answering system was donated by the Buffalo Ornithological
Society. Press (2) to leave a message, (3) for updates, meeting and
field trip information and (4) for instructions on how to report
sightings and use this system. To contact the Science Museum, call
896-5200.
Highlights of reports received July 26 through August 2 from the
Niagara Frontier Region include AMERICAN AVOCET and AMERICAN PIPIT.
Two highlights from the Lake Erie shore in Dunkirk this week. July
27, an AMERICAN AVOCET at the mouth of Canadaway Creek, off Route 5,
west of Dunkirk. This may be the same avocet that has been at Dunkirk
Harbor and Silver Creek in recent weeks.
Also at Dunkirk Harbor, July 30, an unexpected AMERICAN PIPIT on the
Main Street beach. From the BOS archives - this is likely the region's
first summer record of pipit.
Shorebird species at Dunkirk Harbor this week included SEMIPALMATED
PLOVER, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, SPOTTED SANDPIPER, RUDDY TURNSTONE,
SANDERLING, SEMIPALM. SANDPIPER and LEAST SANDPIPER.
From Buffalo this week - a COOPER'S HAWK has been a regular at the
Buffalo Zoo this summer. Also, AMERICAN KESTREL at the zoo. And, at
Tifft Nature Preserve, a PEREGRINE FALCON at the north end of the
preserve, by the railroad tracks.
Dial-a-Bird will be updated Thursday evening, August 9. Please call
in your sightings by noon Thursday. You may report sightings after the
tone. Thank you for calling and reporting to Dial-a-Bird.
