This afternoon, Vicki Rothman found a Western Kingbird at the Niagara Frontier Golf Club, outside of Youngstown in Niagara County. The bird was later seen to be feeding nestlings that were also tended to by an Eastern Kingbird. This species pairing has been documented multiple times in the east and is a very exciting event for our region.
Here are map coordinates for the location of the Western Kingbird. Obviously, you should stay off the golf course when viewing the bird, especially as there are so many golfers out now. The bird can be seen from the road but a scope is probably needed to see the nest.
