The Buffalo Bird Report is a service provided by your Buffalo Museum
of Science and the Buffalo Ornithological Society. To contact the
Science Museum, call 896-5200.
My thanks to everyone who continued to report sightings while the
Science Museum updated their phone system and kindly retained the
original Dial-a-Bird phone number, though
the length of the announcement is limited (to about two
paragraphs).
Reports received during the first two weeks of August from the
Niagara Frontier Region were highlighted by intriguing reports of
three to four WOOD STORKS in the vicinity of Chautauqua Lake and
Jamestown. August 3, four WOOD STORKS briefly stopped at the
Chautauqua Golf Course on Route 394 near the west shore of the lake,
and August 17, three WOOD STORKS were flushed from the Martin Road
Extension Swamp, near Peck Settlement Road, just south of Jamestown.
August 16 and 17, a WILSON'S PHALAROPE at Kumpf Road Marsh on Route
77 in the Iroquois Refuge. Also at the marsh and surrounding area -
GREATER YELLOWLEGS, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, WILSON'S SNIPE, GREEN-WINGED
TEAL, GREAT EGRET, OSPREY, BALD EAGLE and CASPIAN TERN.
Along the north shore of Lake Erie in Ontario, August 14, eleven
shorebird species highlighted by a WHIMBREL with 40 BLACK-BELLIED
PLOVERS at the Poth Road turf farms near Rock Point Park in Dunnville.
Other shorebirds reported were SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, KILLDEER, GREATER
YELLOWLEGS, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, SPOTTED SANDPIPER, RUDDY TURNSTONE,
SANDERLING, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER and LEAST SANDPIPER. Also, in Fort
Erie, a RED-HEADED WDPKR. at a traditional location - the foot of
Kraft Road.
And in Allegany County, a single WHITE-W. CROSSBILL in the Town of
Andover, at Pingry and Bullard Roads.
The Bird Report will be updated Thursday evening, August 25. Please
call in your sightings by noon Thursday. You may report sightings
after the tone. Thank you for calling and reporting.
