The migration is really moving along. Today, we had three species of warblers in the yard - Yellow-rumped, PINE (2) and BLACK-THROATED GREEN (2). Also here were one or two EASTERN TOWHEES, both kinglets, and PURPLE FINCHES. At Wilson-Tuscarora S.P. Betsy had two more PINE WARBLERS. Still one COMMON REDPOLL at the feeders today.
In the morning I made a run to Goat Island for the ROSS'S GOOSE at Terrapin Point (next to the Horseshoe Falls), found by Ethan Gyllenhaal. As already noted by others, it was there with gulls and no other geese. This was about the ninth individual of this species in the Region that I have seen but just my first in Niagara County. I have a photo up on my "2013 Big Year" blog, link below. Scroll down a little below "Journal Entries". Good birding!
