At about 2:20 pm today (Dec 31), Cheryl Edgecombe and I had a Pomarine Jaeger on Lake Ontario off Fifty Point Conservation Area at the Hamilton / Grimsby boundary. The bird, a dark morph juvenile, was in view for about 10 minutes a fair distance out towards the west as it chased gulls but eventually came to within a kilometre or so and gave reasonable looks. It eventually settled on the water and was lost from view. The winds were strong north-easterly.
Directions: From the QEW highway in east Hamilton, take the Fifty Rd. exit, go north to the North Service Rd., go east to Baseline Rd., turn left and continue to the entrance to Fifty Point Conservation Area. Entrance fee required. In the park, head towards the lake and park in the lot below the headland; view the lake from here. Wishing all a happy new year! Rob Dobos Dundas, ON [EMAIL PROTECTED]
