KITTIWAKE and SNOWY OWL.
Very exciting at the mouth of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario,

currents off the Coast Guard Station and Old Fort Niagara.
Also on Lake Ontario at Fort Niagara, November 3, BLACK-

Further up the Niagara River, November 4 to 10, a FRANKLIN'S GULL off

upper parking lot at Artpark.
In Amherst, November 10, a WILSON'S WARBLER continues a late stay in a
Williamsville backyard.
Back on November 2, a first seasonal report of SNOWY OWL on the dikes
at the Batavia Waste Water Plant. At the plant this week, an unusual
TEAL, likely a hybrid individual, resembling a male GREEN-WINGED TEAL,
but with elements of BLUE-WINGED TEAL and other odd features.
LONG-TAILED DUCK also at the Batavia Waste Water Plant.
In the Iroquois Refuge this week, 7 GR. WHITE-FR. GEESE at Ring-neck

11 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS.
November 7, a very late CUCKOO SPECIES, likely a YELLOW-

Other recent reports - from the Town of Alfred in Allegany County, a
mist net bander noted AMER. TREE SPARROWS replaced CHIPPING SPARROWS,
starting November 3, and recaptured an AMER. TREE SPARROW banded at the
same location last April. In Buffalo, MERLIN at Delaware Park and the
