Some sightings:


Fort Erie @ river mouth- 0830 to 1030 (roughly) for a watch

2 Common Terns
1 Little Gull (ad)
1 Dunlin

Oodles of Gulls and Ducks - but alas, no rares.. I then drove north:




Fort Erie @ River

3 Common Terns
3 Little Gulls (1 ad, 1 2nd basic, 1 juvenile)
1 Peregrine Falcon



Above the Falls

3 Little Gulls (adults)
1 Lesser Black-backed Gull (juv)
2 Common Terns
1 Dunlin
250+ Rough-winged Swallows




Below the Falls

Thousands of gulls - but heavy rain and falls mist kept me from really enjoying/sorting them...

2 Ruddy Ducks seemed out of place on the open water .

4 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (2 juv, 2 second ba)
