At one point it was in the same scope as a = red-throated loon. It was feeding in the "rip", slightly on the US side = of the river. Beautiful views in the sunshine, although somewhat distant = and elusive in the waves. Location is Queen's Royal Park on Front Street in Niagara-on-the Lake. = There is a rise that overlooks the mouth of the river and there are even = benches to watch in comfort. Maybe it will spend the winter there. David and Barbara Selley.
