Hi Everyone Had a great afternoon birding along the Niagara River between 1:30 and 4:30pm.. The 2 female Harlequin Duck were present at the control gates above the falls at 1:30pm. The first winter Franklin's Gull was showing well at Sir Adam Beck and 5 Black Vultures were soaring over the river along with 7 Turkey Vulture off the scenic lookout along the parkway near Queenston. At NOTL the Razorbill was at its usual location. A 1st winter Franklin's Gull flew by towards dusk and we counted 5500+ Bonaparte's Gull heading out onto Lake Ontario. If you require additional information, please email me privately.
