instructions on how to report sightings and use this system.
To contact the Science Museum, call 896-5200.
Highlights of reports received May 4 through May 11 from the
Niagara Frontier Region include include WILSON'S PHALAROPE,
WHITE-EYED VIREO and 24 warbler species.
May 5 in the Iroquois Refuge, a rare WILSON'S PHALAROPE was
found in the Kumph shorebird marsh at Route 77 and Feeder
Road, east of Cayuga Pool. Also at this recently named
marsh, SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, LESSER
YELLOWLEGS, LEAST SANDPIPER and DUNLIN, plus GREEN-WINGED
TEAL and AMERICAN PIPIT. A PEREGRINE FALCON flushed the
shorebirds, and the WILSON'S PHALAROPE did not return. At
nearby Cayuga Pool, over 30 BLACK TERNS.
Another good shorebird habitat to watch is at the drained
Silver Creek Reservoir on Smith Mills Road in the Chautauqua
County Town of Hanover. Reports included 10 SOLITARY
SANDPIPERS and numbers of SEMIPALM. SANDPIPER and LEAST
SANDPIPER, plus RED-SHOULDERED HAWK. In the Lake Ontario
Plains, at the pond along Niagara-Orleans Countyline Road
south of Route 18, seven shorebird species.
Two reports of rare WHITE-EYED VIREOS - May 4 at Four Mile
Creek State Park in Porter and May 7 at the Wainfleet Bog at
Highway 3 and Wilson Road in Wainfleet, Ontario. ORCHARD
ORIOLE was an unexpected find at Amherst State Park on May
6. A pair of ORCHARD ORIOLES at a jelly feeder in Silver
Creek, and another ORCHARD ORIOLE at Rock Point Provincial
Park in Dunnville, Ontario.
Approaching the peak of spring migration; a total of twenty-
four warbler species this week, and more species probably
dropping in as this report is compiled. Individual location
reports of 13 to 16 warblers at Amherst State Park, Saint
Columbans in Sheridan, and a single yard in the Town of
Wilson. Highlights included ORANGE-CR. WARBLER and GOLDEN-
WING. WARBLER in Wilson. Another GOLDEN-WING. WARBLER and
first BLACKPOLL WARBLER on May 7 at Amherst State Park. And,
breeding pairs of CERULEAN WARBLERS on Cedar Street at
Tonawanda Creek in Newstead.
Other migrants and arrivals in the many reports this week
included LEAST FLYCATCHER, GR. CR. FLYCATCHER, EASTERN
KINGBIRD, YELLOW-THR. VIREO, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, RED-EYED
VIREO, VEERY, SWAINSON'S THRUSH, WOOD THRUSH, SCARLET
TANAGER, ROSE-BR. GROSBEAK, INDIGO BUNTING, BOBOLINK,
