Juvenile Marbled Godwit at Niagara Falls |
|
 |
|
This juvenile Marbled Godwit at Dufferin Islands, Niagara Falls,
Ontario, is an amazing find in this busy park beside the Niagara
River. It appears to be hungry and probably tired. I believe it is
from the Prairie breeding population on its way to the southern east
coast of the United States where it will winter. The James Bay
population migrates southwest across continental Canada and the
United States to winter around the Gulf of California in Mexico.
This is a first record for Niagara. 14 August 2019. |
