Located along a major migratory flyway, thousands of ducks and other waterfowl will be staging the next leg of their journey north to their nesting grounds. Several pairs of Bald Eagles and hundreds of Great Blue Herons nest along the river, while Peregrine Falcons and Great Horned Owls are nesting inland On Monday, April 8th, a Solar Eclipse will occur over North America with a path of totality that will cross 13 states. Buffalo, NY is directly in the path of totality, bringing us a full solar eclipse from 3:18 PM to 3:22 PM. The last total eclipse over Buffalo was in 1925, and there will not be another one until 2144. Solar Eclipse viewing will take place at Beaver Meadow Nature Center in North Java, NY.
