considered as well.
Good birding!

Subject: [GeneseeBirds-L] BOS CBC secB Western Kingbird, 19 Red-th. Loons,
White-cr. Sparrow
Dec.14 - An apparent Western Kingbird was observer on Logan Road about 300 m
west of the intersection of Logan and Stanley Roads. It was on the north side
of Logan Road behind two houses. This location is about 2 or 3 km southwest of
Chippewa. Chippewa is on the Niagara River just south of Niagara Falls,
Ontario. The bird was perched near the top of a tree with its back to us and
looked like a dark drab N. mockingbird, but there was no white on the wings.
When it flew away from us (north) the expected white on the wing was not seen,
but yellow under parts were observed. It was not refound, but Nadine Litwin and
I are going to try again today. There was also a White-crowned Sparrow at this
location.
A tight group of 19 Red-breasted Loons were observed on the Niagara River
between the mouth of the Chippewa Creek and the north end of Navy Island. ...A
weird observation day.
