Joe Mitchell has just found a WESTERN SANDPIPER at West Wood Marsh, Tonawanda WMA.
West Wood Marsh and the dikes surrounding it are clearly visible on Google Maps Earth view. There are two ways to access the marsh: 1) From Griswold/Ditch Road, about 2/3 mile north of Owen/Bartel Road, there is a parking area on the east side of the road. Walk the dike east about 1/3 mile to the dike that heads south along the west side of West Wood Marsh. 2) From Owen/Bartel Road, about 0.4 mile east of Griswold/Ditch Road, there is space to park along the north side of the road. Walk north from here on a small path about 100 yards onto the dike that runs along the south side of West Wood Marsh. Good luck!
