Hi Ontbirders: Despite several hours (10:00 am to noon) of scanning this morning, Friday, September 14, there was no sign of the Sabine's Gull at the Deschenes Rapids at Brittania on the Ottawa River. Conversations with half a dozen other birders during this time indicated they had not seen it either. There appeared to be no Bonaparte Gulls either so perhaps they had flown off together. There were about four Common Terns close to the Quebec shore and several Lesser Black-backed Gulls among the thousands of roosting gulls. Good birding Peter Hall _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
