Hi all!
At the end of a most successful SPNC trip with Ron Scovell
leading, Jim Watt and I decided to try for the Black headed Gull at the
flypast at the museum dock. As Gord Bellerby reported, there seemed to
almost no movement of Bonies, when 2 Purple Sandpipers flew low around the
corner right at us, veering out into the river, I think, to avoid us.
Shortly after the gulls came on in droves and we were able to
pick out a Black-headed in the middle of one large flock. Other people on
the dock also got a Little Gull, but we did not and having seen 2 earlier(1
adult at Whirlpool and 1 sub-adult at Queenston sand docks) - we left in a
euphoric mood - one of the best days ever on the river for either of us.
Cheers!
