About Buffalo
“Letchworth State Park is a 14,427-acre (5,838 ha) New York State Park located in Livingston and Wyoming Counties in western Upstate New York.”
Bird activity often makes wind and pressure visible before the forecast does: short flights, edge perches, and sudden quiet all become weather data.
Regional iNaturalist observations within roughly 50 km; exact public wildlife locations are not shown. Field-note copy is curated from taxon group, current weather, and regional observation context.
