After a brief rain storm in Buffalo, Sue Barth found two American Golden-Plovers in the short grass area near the Seaway Slip along the Outer Harbor on the 2nd. This location is fairly reliable for this species, especially so after rain/thunderstorms.

Another image of American Golden-Plover by Sue Barth at the Seaway Slip along Buffalo's Outer Harbor on the 2nd. This short grass portion of the waterfront is attractive to 'grasspipers' such as Killdeer, Baird's Sandpiper, Golden-Plover and several other species.

Joe Mortellaro discovered and photographed this Brant at the foot of West Ferry Street (Broderick Park) on the 27th. This species is unusual for Lake Erie and the Niagara River, however many hundreds use Lake Ontario during migration.

Mortellaro's Brant continued into the 28th but had moved to Black Rock Canal Park where Tony Dvorak took this photo.

Joe Mortellaro took this photo on the 28th at Black Rock Canal Park, the second day of the Brant's visit. This photo nicely shows the molt pattern on this bird...the older brownish juvenile feathers being replaced by the grayish adult feathers.
