Subject: [GeneseeBirds-L] Elegant Tern - Buffalo
The ELEGANT TERN is currently (9 a.m.) being viewed at the north end of Squaw
Island by Dominic Sherony and others.
DIRECTIONS:
The best views are from the north end of Squaw Island because you can watch the
bird both perched and feeding. For those who are less mobile, I would suggest
the end of Hertel Avenue, directly across the canal from the end of the pier.
Both locations are accessed from Niagara St. (NY 266). Note that Rich Marine
is directly across the canal from the north end of Squaw Island. Exit I-190
southbound (if travelling northbound, see further on) at Ontario St. At the
end of the ramp, turn right onto Niagara St. Hertel Ave. comes up in about ¼
mile (turn right and go to the end). For the north end of Squaw Island, drive
about one mile and, after the road goes under the railroad bridge, make the
next right (there will be a sign for "Squaw Island Park"). If on I-190
northbound, exit at Amherst St. At the end of the ramp, turn right onto
Niagara St. The turn for Squaw Island Park is less than ¼ mile on your right.
This right turn is really a 180 degree turn. You will drive over the canal
on the side of the railroad bridge. Once on the island, stay on the main road
as it reaches the river and turns right, going underneath the big bridge.
Follow the road to the end and park in the loop. Notice the path to the north.
Follow it a few hundred yards until you can see the end of the pier.
Good birding!
Willie
