[Ontbirds]NO Razorbill - Niagara-on-the-Lake - Saturday Dec 9
Doug and Sharon Beattie and I looked from 3:30 to 4:30 from the golf course in Niagara-on-the-Lake. We were joined by Paula from Niagara Falls ON who assured us that the Razorbill was seen from that spot previously. We all seperately looked in the upriver parkette before going to the golf course. Earlier we tried for the Slaty-backed Gull with no joy. After dusk we enjoyed the Niagara Falls ON Festival of Lights, the best part of which was the Dufferin Islands' portion (donation appreciated). Following that we enjoyed some senior citizen coffee at one of the finer gourmet restaurants in Niagara Falls NY (McDonalds). Jerry Lazarczyk Grand Island NY Directions per Sheldon McGregor Ancaster: To reach Niagara-on-the-Lake take the QEW to exit #38 and head to Niagara-on-the-Lake. As you reach town continue straight until the T intersection at the golf course. Turn right, take the first left, this road bends to the right after ~ 100 m, continue about another 200 m to the parkette on the left.
[Ontbirds]No Razorbill - Niagara-on-the-Lake
Dear Fellow Birders, Myself and Jenn Sinasac searched for the Razorbill this morning to no avail, we met several other birders at Niagara-on-the-Lake who also had not seen it. In the area were Red-throated Loons and Horned Grebes amongst usual winter ducks. We also did a quick check of other spots along the river, Queenston, Adam Beck, the Whirlpool, the Control Gates and the Falls and struck out at every place for any interesting gulls. There were virtually no gulls above the falls this morning which was odd and in stark contrast to the what was seen on Saturday. Only Bonaparte's Gulls were seen along the river in appreciable numbers. Directions: Follow the QEW to Niagara Falls and exit at the 420 to Niagara Falls. All sites are located along the Niagara Parkway, take the Niagara Parkway south to reach the Control Gates and the Falls, and north to reach the Whirlpool, Adam Beck, Queenston and at the mouth of the river Niagara-on-the-Lake.

On Monday 20 November, Ron Pittaway and I arrived at Massey around noon and met Erwin Meissner, who had seen the Black Guillemot at the bridge across the Spanish River in Massey at 7:30 a.m. We did not see it at the bridge but drove about 6 km south along the river to a boat launch, where we saw it close to the opposite bank. Later around 3:15 p.m. we saw it again from the boat launch as it dived and drifted downstream. Then it was seen at about 4:15 p.m. as it flew east past the bridge in Massey. It is regularly seen about 7:30 to 10:00 a.m. at the bridge in Massey. The bird is an adult in basic (winter) plumage. Massey is on the TransCanada Highway 17, west of Sudbury and Espanola. At the traffic lights in Massey turn south (left if coming from the east) and find the bridge, or call Erwin Meissner at 705-865-1970 for directions.
