why so many Earthquakes lately?.

It does look like a lot of quakes, but is it actually an unusual number for a 2wk. period?

No

this region sits on a fault line and we normally get several per year

Keep in mind that Buffalo has an Earthquake research center and you would never build an Oceanographic institute in a desert

Yes, western NY is geologically just as susceptible to quakes as some areas that are more known for that.

I've never felt a big quake, but have felt two small ones. One near you, and one in Puerto Rico. It's confusing for a couple seconds when the shaking starts.
