Birders,

My Dad and I spent the last 2 hours of daylight making a quick check of the
Niagara River. The only gull highlight was the 2CY Black-legged Kittiwake
still flying below the Adam Beck Power Plant. In the late evening light, we
found a female plumaged Harlequin Duck about 50m south of the Barge above
the falls.

As a side note, we had Peregrine Falcons at the northern-most bridge on
Grand Island in NY (adult female), and another at the Garden City Skyway
Bridge near St. Catherine's (young bird). Both while driving over the
bridge.

Good Birding!
