Today my friend Heather and I birded along the Niagara River from Fort Erie to Niagara Falls. During this trip we saw large numbers of each of the following: AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS, GADWALLS, BUFFLEHEADS, RED HEADS, CANVAS BACK DUCKS, GREATER SCAUP, LESSER SCAUP, RED-BREASTED MERGANSERS, COMMON MERGANSERS, COMMON GOLDEN-EYE, MALLARDS, CANADA GEESE. We also saw a few AMERICAN CROWS, a REDTAIL HAWK, an unidentified hawk, a GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL and some TURKEY VULTURES. Stopping at Niagara on the Lake on our way home we saw a number of LONGTAILS.
