I checked Lake Erie from LaSalle Park in Buffalo today and had some interesting sightings. Divers included 7 AMERICAN COOTS, 2 REDHEADS, 4 GREATER SCAUP, and 52 SURF SCOTERS. Others were 3 NORTHERN SHOVELERS, 1 CASPIAN TERN, and 7 AMERICAN PIPITS.
At Goat Island above Niagara Falls, there were 3 adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS, only a small fraction of the number that were seen on Long Island yesterday. Among the 150 or so YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS were 4 PALMS, 1 NASHVILLE, 1 TENNESSEE, 1 BLACKPOLL, and 1 ORANGE-CROWNED. Others were 1 BLUE-HEADED VIREO, and handfuls of JUNCOS, CHIPPYS, and WHITE-THROATS. Good birding!
