In the Town of Amherst, May 15, a BOHEMIAN WAXWING was reported in a Williamsville yard. This may be latest record for all of New York State. May 14 on the Buffalo waterfront, a male EURASIAN WIGEON was found at Times Beach, near the Coast Guard base on Fuhrmann Blvd. Back on May 10, in Niagara County, an unexpected ACADIAN FLYCATCHER was found on Lake Road in the Town of Wilson. It was reported that migrant ACADIAN FLYCATCHER has not been recorded in Niagara County for over 100 years. The CLAY-COL. SPARROW reported last week, was still along Lake Road on May 13. 28 warbler species this week were highlighted by a GOLDEN- WING. WARBLER on Dietz Road in the Town of Porter. At Tifft Nature Preserve in Buffalo, PRAIRIE WARBLER, CERULEAN WARBLER and YELLOW-BR. CHAT. And, last week at Tifft, a KENTUCKY WARBLER. Some of later migrants were noted this week. May 15, YELLOW- B. FLYCATCHER in the Chautauqua County Town of Arkwright. May 18, GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH at Amherst State Park and COMMON NIGHTHAWK over Lancaster. And EASTERN WOOD-PEWEES and BLACKPOLL WARBLERS at several locations. Not typically a late migrant, but reports of SCARLET TANAGERS picked up this week. WHITE-EYED VIREO was reported at Tifft, along Old Tifft Street on the 13th, and another WHITE-EYED VIREO was present May 11 and 14 at the mouth of Cattaraugus Creek in the Town of Hanover. Multiple ORCHARD ORIOLES were reported across the Lake Ontario Plains - Fort Niagara, Four Mile Creek, Lake Road in Wilson and Barker Park in Somerset. Also, ORCHARD ORIOLES in the Lake Erie Plains - Saint Columbans in Sheridan, and two locations in Silver Creek. A second hand report from last week, of a WHITE-WINGED DOVE on Ellicott Road in the Town of Portland, may have been the same dove reported on Buffalo Street in Silver Creek.
