Of interest to some, today (Jan. 9) while doing the Lake Ontario Winter

Yesterday (April 27) at 6:00 pm, I had a flock of 13 Willets resting on
one of the rock islands in Hamilton Harbour off LaSalle Marina. I
wasn't able to post this earlier due to internet problems, but a few
local birders reached by phone were able to get down last evening to see
them. Unfortunate
I had a call from Cheryl Edgecombe this morning (May 2) who, at 8:30 am,

This morning (August 7) Cheryl Edgecombe and I had an adult Red Knot at

centre. There is e
This afternoon (Aug 14) at about 3:45 pm I had an early juvenile
Black-legged Kittiwake fly past Hamilton's Van Wagners Beach. The bird
continued flying westerly towards Burlington. The winds were NE about

a check.
