Back on May 25, in Niagara Falls, New York, a report of a FISH CROW
at the aquarium on Whirlpool Street. Attempts to relocate have not
been successful; FISH CROW is a species not yet documented in the BOS
archives.
June 10 and 12, a CLAY-COL. SPARROW, very rare in Erie County, in
the Town of Lancaster, singing at the northeast corner of Ransom and
Westwood Roads. Three GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS this week in uncut fields
on Francis Road in the Genesee County Town of Bethany. June 9 in
Niagara County, VESPER SPARROW on Kayner Road at the Town of Royalton
Ravine Park.

year at the park Administration Building. PRAIRIE WARBLER at the west

WOODPECKER, 4 ACADIAN FLYCATCHERS, WINTER WREN and SWAINSON'S THRUSH.
Migrant YELLOW-B. FLYCATCHERS still in the region through June 8.

in Hanover, on Finley Road in Portland, and 2 YELLOW-B. FLYCATCHERS on
Chautauqua Road in Pomfret with YELLOW-B. SAPSUCKER, ACADIAN
FLYCATCHER and 5 HOODED WARBLERS. In Genesee County, YELLOW-B.

June 8, a late migrant BLACKPOLL WARBLER and an unexpected MOURNING
WARBLER in a yard in the Town of Wilson. At the Wilson Pier on Lake
Ontario, 20 COMMON TERNS plus 3 CASPIAN TERNS, a surprising count for
a non-breeding location. June 12, a probable ICELAND GULL was reported
again on Lake Ontario in Wilson.
Also this week - a pair of MUTE SWANS with 3 cygnets on Lake Gibson
at Beaverdams Road in the Thorold, Ontario. The previously reported
