Buffalo Ornithological Society Field Trip to Lake Ontario Plains on October 30, 2021 at 8am.
Meet at 8 AM at Tops Market in Wright’s Corners. This is on the east side of Route 78 and Route 104, north of Lockport. Tops Friendly Markets, 3949 Lockport Olcott Road, Lockport, NY 14094
This trip is a car caravan of sorts, plying the rural roads of Niagara County in search of late fall migrants. Every year is different, but with all of the fields and open space habitat we will check, it is reasonable to see Northern Harrier, American Kestrel, and possibly early winter arrivals such as Northern Shrike and Rough-legged Hawk. Horned Larks should be added to the day’s list as well. A few stops along the Lake Ontario shore lookouts should produce Horned Grebe and several species of scoters and other diving ducks.
