Early this morning a juv. Northern Gannet passed by Hutches about 8:30 a.m.. The bird then passed by again at 9:20 a.m. and flew along to the Burlington shoreline where it was seen from Sioux Lookout a few minutes earlier. At about 11:20 a group of 5-6 jaegers flew close to shore including 2 Pomarine Jaegers, 1 Long-tailed (I didn't catch any details on this) and a Parasitic. Jaegers have been seen at a distance throughout the morning but perhaps this afternoon they will be in closer. Dress warmly and prepare for the wind!!!
Cheers, Cheryl Edgecombe HNC Hotline 905-381-0329 Directions; From the QEW (Burlington way),Take the QEW towards Niagara, going over the skyway, or Eastport drive (lower level) exit at the Woodward exit, turn right (towards the lake) at Woodward and go under the QEW and coming to stop lights at Beach Blvd. If you were on Eastport Drive,(heading east from Burlington) you will turn left at the lights at Woodward. Turn right at the Beach Blvd lights, and head east along the beach until you almost get to the Famous Hutch's fish & chip outlet. Park in the lot just before you get to Hutch's.
