[nysbirds-l] Neotropic Cormorant - Fredonia, Chatauqua County

[Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter]

At 6:42 this morning, Jim Pawlicki texted to WNYBIRDS that he had an adult
NEOTROPIC CORMORANT while driving on the NYS Thruway. The bird was flying
WSW, basically following the Thruway, with a flock of 12 Double-crested
Cormorants. He pulled over onto the shoulder and got a look at the bird in
his binoculars, noting the white on the head. Fortunately, the flock flew
right over him when he was out of the car and he managed to get a record
shot of the flock with his cell phone. The photo shows a much smaller
cormorant. The location was along the I-90 between Temple Road and Brigham
Road in Fredonia. Barcelona Harbor would be a spot worth checking for this
bird. If there is a Chautauqua County birding list or facebook page, could
someone please cross-post this?

 

Earlier this month there was a Neotropic Cormorant in Hamilton, Ontario that
stayed for several days. Local birders have been looking for the species in
western NY. There are currently no accepted records of Neotropic Cormorant
in New York State. A record of one flying by Hamlin Beach SP a couple of
years ago, which was also photographed, is currently under review by the
committee.

 

Good birding!

Willie
