Anyone cheering for GSP last night? I watched it today.

Hit Van Wagner's Beach, in hopes of the forecasted 25knot east winds. What did my Dad, Kevin McLaughlin and myself have? 5km SE winds.
We had a few Common and Red-throated Loons, and that's all she wrote. Might try the lake again tomorrow.

I'm still keeping my eye on the James Bay Ice maps, and the north winds we've been having. Will any late-season pelagics turn up?
There's a pretty crazy jet-stream right now.

What's next Kirk? Heading to NL for some of their rarities? Cheryl Edgecombe of Hamilton went today and saw 2 Northern Lapwinds. There's also Yellow-legged, Slaty-backed and Black-tailed Gulls in town, for some extra fun.
