Today, 28 January, I arrived at the Falls around 14:00, to my disappointment there were no birders there as I drove up to the Engineering Building, the place looked deserted, only saw a single birder, Jeff Gilbreath from Hamilton walking down the road, together we looked for the gull from the south side look-out spot of the Engineering Building; after about 15 minutes I found the Ross's gull on the ice about 100m off the Canadian side with some Bonis, we looked at the gull for maybe 5 to 8 minutes when it flew upstream and was lost.
During that time I tried to bring attention to the American side birders several times by holding up my arms and jumping a little bit, guess they did not see me. I also mentioned to Jeff if he could send messages to them. Also all that time we were not aware of nor saw other people/birders in the vicinity, at least from where we were standing. Direactions: The Engineering Building is across the road from the Bird Aviary parking lot which is free at this time.
