The Brown Pelican continues at the north end of Conesus Lake as seen from
Pebble Beach Road (because Vitale Park was clogged up with its Summer
Concert Series.) It is close enough that scope views would work from
Vitale Park.

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.

Thanks, Kristine, for the post. I decided to see the nest for myself, and on July 13, there was a chick in the nest along with an adult which was probably the mother. A photo can be seen at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/297643093.
On July 11, I spotted an osprey on a branch overlooking the Erie Canal not far from the nest. He was probably the mate of the female on the nest. Probably, he was looking for fish in the canal to feed to his chick and mate. Photos can be seen at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/297647309.

There is a Brown Pelican today at the north end of Conesus Lake, reported and seen by several birders today - I saw it a few minutes ago looking west from Vitale Park, towards the houses and docks along Pebble Beach - It was perched on one of the docks - maybe three hundred yards or so south from the outlet area. Easily seen with a scope.
Observation start time: 09:30:00 Observation end time: 12:30:00 Total observation time: 3 hours
Official Counter: Dan Niven, Mike Tetlow
Observers: Dan Niven
Visitors: None
Weather: Quite warm with strong SW winds. Mostly cloudy but birds got up in the sunny or bright spots. The wind got too strong in the last 20 minutes and birds stayed down.
Raptor Observations: Even the Bald Eagles flapped against the wind so the Broad-wings really had to work. One young Broad-wing was nearly finished molting with mostly adult feathers.
Non-raptor Observations: Cedar Waxwings, like the raptors, were still moving with four groups totalling. 24.
Predictions: Cooler west winds. Saturday has near perfect SW winds so a few eagles will likely be moving. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Mike Tetlow (<metetlow...>) Braddock Bay information may be found at: http://www.bbrr.org/
