Hello All,

While on a short break covering our nearby section for the NF CBC, Jean and I
observed the Black-legged Kittiwake at the Whirlpool. It was observed flying
with approximately 100 BOGU from the Niagara Parks Aerocar observation deck at
12:20 PM.  The flock remained for 10 minutes and then headed upriver.

FYI Country Fresh Donuts on Victoria Avenue is closed today.

Directions: From the Niagara bound QEW, merge on the 405. Exit at Stanley,
turning right. At Whirlpool Td, turn left. Turn right onto Niagara Parkway.
Continue to Whirlpool.

Great Birding,

Bob Highcock and Jean Hampson
