SNOWY OWL, TURKEY VULTURE, EASTERN PHOEBE and GRAY CATBIRD.
January 7, a NORTHERN HAWK-OWL was reported in the Orleans
County Town of Yates in the Lake Ontario Plains, along Route
63, just north of Route 18. The owl has been seen daily by
many observers; through at least January 12. NORTHERN HAWK-
OWLS have been found in other parts of New York State and
Ontario in past winters, but this is the first record in the
BOS region archives since 1963.
Also in the same area of Yates, a SNOWY OWL on January 7,
north of Route 18 and west of Route 63, along with a flock
of HORNED LARKS, SNOW BUNTINGS and 8 LAPLAND LONGSPURS. And,
a NORTHERN SHRIKE along Route 18, east of Route 63.
January 9, a TURKEY VULTURE was reported over Lake Street in
the Village of Hamburg. Until recent years, TURKEY VULTURES
were rarely seen in winter.
A record date for EASTERN PHOEBE - January 8, a wintering
EASTERN PHOEBE was still at the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek
in the Chautauqua County Town of Hanover, with 3 RED-BELLIED
WDPKRS., 3 HAIRY WOODPECKERS, 6 NORTHERN FLICKERS and 4
EASTERN BLUEBIRDS. Back on January 2, an EASTERN PHOEBE was
still at Amherst State Park.
GRAY CATBIRDS also continue in the region this week. One at
Sinking Ponds in East Aurora with MERLIN, 4 AMERICAN ROBINS,
40 CEDAR WAXWINGS and a RED-W. BLACKBIRD. At Buckhorn Island
State Park, two GRAY CATBIRDS plus PIED-BILLED GREBE, 2 BALD
EAGLES, AMERICAN COOT, NORTHERN FLICKER, BROWN CREEPER, RED-
BR. NUTHATCH, CAROLINA WREN, 10 GOLDEN-CR. KINGLETS and 11
WHITE-THR. SPARROWS.
January 11, in Buffalo, a unexpected mid-winter FOX SPARROW
appeared at a feeder on Woodbridge Avenue.
From Chautauqua County this week - GLAUCOUS GULL at Dunkirk
Harbor. Two YELLOW-R. WARBLERS at Lake Erie State Park in
Portland. Three WHITE-CR. SPARROWS at the Dunkirk Airport.
And, an all-white RED-TAILED HAWK was reported again at
Lotus Point Road in the Town of Farnham. This hawk has been
reported in Farnham off and on for at least a year.
