I had a Black-legged Kittiwake at Unity Island this afternoon. This was the first time I had a kittiwake in adult plumage. There are very poor photos on eBird.
Mike G with Pat M and Kyle B found a very close Little Gull (and I believe a second across the River in Fort Erie). Kevin Rybczynski’s Sabine’s Gull eluded is all. I hope folks keep scanning the growing numbers of Bonaparte’s Gulls on the Niagara River for those less common species! I though our friends in Canada might appreciate a heads up on some of these birds, as they could just as easily appear on that side of the river.
