After waiting three hours, the shearwater appeared again at a fairly close
range at about 6:15 p.m. and made a pass by from east to west.
Thanks to Barry & Linda Cherriere and company for their phone call and to
the dedicated husband who first posted.
Cheers,

Directions : To reach Van Wagner's Road, take the Centennial Parkway exit
from the QEW Niagara and proceed north to Van Wagner's Road. The Lakeland
Centre Tower is one to two hundred metres west of Hutch's Restaurant which
is west of Centennial.
Note: If coming from the 403 or QEW to the QEW Niagara it is backed up due
to construction all the way across the skyway bridge. Taking Eastport Drive
to VanWagners Beach Road would be the best route to go today.
