  The Buffalo Bird Report is a service provided by your
  Buffalo Museum of Science and the Buffalo Ornithological
  Society. To contact the Science Museum, call 896-5200. Press
  the pound key to report sightings before the end of this
  report.

  Highlights of reports received December 11 through December
  18 from the Niagara Frontier Region.

  The BOS Christmas Count, centered on Grand Island and
  including the Ontario side of the Niagara River, was
  conducted on December 14. The reported highlight was a
  WESTERN KINGBIRD, south of Chippawa, Ontario, at Stanley
  Avenue and Logan Road. The WESTERN KINGBIRD was not found
  the next day.

  Other count reports from the Niagara River - an unusual
  location and number - 19 RED-THROATED LOONS between Chippawa
  Creek and Navy Island on the upper river. Also, 4 COMMON
  LOONS, 14 HORNED GREBES, 28 LESSER SCAUP and 5 WHITE-WINGED
  SCOTERS, plus numbers of TUNDRA SWANS, REDHEADS, GREATER
  SCAUP, BUFFLEHEAD, COMMON GOLDENEYE, HOODED MERGANSER,
  COMMON MERGANSER, RED-BR. MERGANSER, and one RUDDY DUCK. Off
  the river in the Fort Erie and Niagara Falls areas -
  PEREGRINE FALCON, MERLIN, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, AMERICAN ROBIN,
  NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD, WHITE-THR. SPARROW and at the same
  location as the WESTERN KINGBIRD, a single WHITE-CR.
  SPARROW.

  For the count on Grand Island, the ROSS'S GOOSE and wing-
  tagged TRUMPETER SWAN were still present at the Beaver
  Island State Park beach, a GREAT HORNED OWLS and EASTERN
  SCREECH-OWLS were heard on the island. On December 16, the
  TRUMPETER SWAN was present, but the ROSS'S GOOSE was not
  found at the park beach.

  Also this week - at the BOS eastern boundary, a SNOWY OWL on
  Bank Street, north of the Batavia-Stafford Townline, and two
  GREAT HORNED OWLS at the Batavia Waste Water Plant. Another
  GREAT HORNED OWL on Meadville Road in the Tonawanda Wildlife
  Management Area, and NORTHERN SHRIKE at Cayuga Pool. And in
  Buffalo, an unexpected TUFTED TITMOUSE at a feeder on
  Woodbridge Ave in the North Park district.

  Seasons Greetings, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to
  all, and my sincere thanks to the contributors to the Bird
  Report. Next update will be Thursday, January 8 in the new
  year, unless an rare report is received from holiday birding
  efforts. You may report sightings after the tone. Thank you
  again for calling and reporting.
