On the 16th, Ryan Griffiths found and photographed this 2nd winter Black-legged Kittiwake along Point Abino Road near the Buffalo Yacht Club property. This is an unusual plumage to see away from the ocean.

Another image of the sub-adult Black-legged Kittiwake on the 16th by Griffiths. Ryan noted that this individual was harassing Buffleheads and Horned Grebes on the east side of Point Abino Road, Ridgway, Ontario and this image captures that behavior.

On the 17th, Wendy Bale noticed this odd bird in her yard near her bird feeders. The next day the bird reappeared and Wendy managed a few photos. This female-type Hooded Warbler was a huge surprise this late in the fall. Chautauqua County at Kiantone, near PA border.

Another image of the Hooded Warbler on the 18th by Wendy Bale. Interestingly, another Hooded Warbler showed up on the same date in nearby Oakville, Ontario. Notice the white tail spots just peeking out and the partial black hood framing the face.

On the 18th, Josh Ketry photographed this sharp looking adult Lesser Black-backed Gull off Goat Island, Niagara Falls. This is the best location to see this species up close and personal on a regular basis.

Sue Barth strikes gold with this rare Tufted Duck on the 18th at LaSalle Park in Buffalo. Back in 2014, this species also made an appearance at this location.

Josk Ketry took this photo of the LaSalle Park Tufted Duck found earlier in the day by Barth. Here is a nice comparison shot with a Lesser Scaup, a species with which TUDU is frequently found associating with.

Another Tufted Duck image by Ketry from the 18th. This species is a rare vagrant from Europe and it takes a sharp eye to pick one out of the crowd...thank you Sue Barth!

Sue Barth found and photographed this extremely late Yellow Warbler at Times Beach on the 18th. This bird could have arrived on the same flight as the Hooded Warbler.

After having just returned from a red eye flight from CA, I decided to forego sleep and checked out Buffalo Harbor State Park early in the morning and was rewarded with 3 Snowy Owls! Best encounter ever!
