Peter Yoerg just called to report that he is watching the juv. SABINE'S GULL at Squaw Island. The bird is about a tenth of a mile south of the International Railroad Bridge right along the Squaw Island shoreline on the US side. The easiest way to reach the location is the cross the NORTH Squaw Island bridge which is the one that crosses with the Railroad bridge. You can reach the north bridge by going south on Niagara St. from the Ontario St. exit off of the 190. Just after passing Bridge St. on your left, you will go underneath the railroad bridge and then make an immediate right onto I THINK Squaw Island Rd./Ave.??--this is before you reach the traffic lights ahead and I believe at the right turn there is a sign for Squaw Island park. (this is not marked on Google). You can then continue over the bridge parallel to the tracks and park in the lot close to the river. From here walk south about .10 mile. You can also follow J. Lazarczyks directions in his posts to the south end of the island and walk north along the river from there. I apologize in advance for any mix up in the directions at the moment. To those in Fort Erie, you should be able to see the bird by scoping across the River from the Niagara Pkwy. just south of the Railroad bridge. Of course there's also the chance it will fly-over and raft/feed with the Bonpartes. Good luck. Jim Pawlicki Amherst, NY **************Play online games for FREE at Games.com!
