This time of year I try to head to Woodlawn Beach SP for shorebirds - often the numbers are low, but occasionally something interesting can be found. Shorebirds seem to prefer the area where the creeks enter Lake Erie.
The wooded portions of Woodlawn are also good for small passerines from late August through early October - I suggest using insect repellent as the mosquitoes have been brutal as of late! This week I had the following shorebirds: Wed, Aug 20 2 Semipalmated Plover, 5 Killdeer, 1 Spotted sandpiper, 1 American Woodcock Fri, Aug 22 3 Killdeer, 1 Sanderling Sat, Aug 23 4 Semipalmated Plover, 16 Killdeer, 1 Semipalmated Sandpiper Joe Fell Buffalo, NY [email protected] -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
