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.
