Kevin
McLaughlin and I went with Willie D'Anna and Betsy Potter to Niagara-on-the-Lake
to look for the Razorbill discovered on the Buffalo Ornithological
Society (BOS) field trip earlier on the morning of 19 November 2006.. Willie and Betsy
were in cell phone contact with their friends across the River on the
American side at Fort Niagara, who could see the Razorbill. They
helped us locate it on the Canadian side. We couldn't see it from the parkette on Front Street, so we went to the golf course at the north
end of Front Street where we walked out the pathway leading to the
monument and cut across the grass to the bank of the river below a
slope/mound where we had a clear view of the river. We soon
spotted the Razorbill left of the green marker (buoy) on Lake Ontario
near the Canadian side. Soon after Ron Tozer posted for us on Ontbirds, it flew back
to the American side. |
