[Ontbirds]Ross's Gull update - 3:35 p.m. Wed. Jan. 20

[Jmpawli88 at aol.com]

Shawn Billerman just called again (3:35 p.m. EST) to report that  the Ross's 
Gull just took off from the upstream parking lot at Goat Island and  headed 
west (downstream) over the island back towards the actual falls.  In  case there 
is any confusion this is also the lot labeled as the "Three Sisters  Parking 
Lot" by Joe Mitchell where he saw the bird sitting amongst RBGUs on  Monday as 
well.  To avoid confusion with the small parking spaces just  north of the 
Three Sisters Islands, we should probably label this lot at the  "upstream lot." 
 Also remember that Goat Island generally "runs"  East-West as does the 
Niagara River just above the falls, thus "downstream" and  "upstream" are probably 
less confusing terms to use to describe where the bird  is in relation to 
other landmarks, ect.
