A juvenile Black-legged Kittiwake, adult Little Gull, and 3+ juvenile Parasitic Jaegers were present this afternoon from at least 2:30 to 5 out over Lake Ontario at Fort Niagara State Park.

The Jaegers were often harassing Bonaparte's and were occasionally observed sitting on the water. Also present on the water were about a dozen Common Loons and 3 Red-throated Loons.

[nysbirds-l] Injured Northern Saw-Whet Owl, Speonk
A co-worker of mine brought in an injured Northern Saw-Whet owl this morning (it appeared to have a broken wing). It was quickly brought to a vet up the road and will be well taken care of. The vet was unable to tell us if and when it would be released but said if the wing sets properly it will be released back into the wild.
