Following a few severe thunderstorms, local birder, Gale VerHauge was able to track down 5 American Avocet who put down at Write Park Beach in Dunkirk, New York today. I was lucky enough to head down with my dashing friends, Alec Humann and Joe Fell for some beautiful looks at the weary travelers. While the birds are a total rare bird alert in western New York, they stopped through the same area, and at about the same time last year as well. I would't mind seeing them every year, that's for sure. Lifer!
