2-ELEGANT TERN video on Canadian side of Niagara River, Nov 24th, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtCT41Az4Rk&feature=youtu.be Hi All: Above find the links to 1-Thick-billed Murre in Kingston on Dec 4th, 2013; at about 10:00 am. Dan Salisbury & I tracked down to the Kingston waterfront (at Johnson Ave & Ontario St.) to see this amazing rarity. The bird was very close to the boat docks, paddling ,swimming, diving. It appeared healthy. A description of the bird is included in the video for OBRC. 2-The exceptional Elegant Tern was videoed by me on the Canadian side ( at Gilmore Rd & Niagara Blvd in Fort Erie). My son Xavier and I re-found the Elegant Tern at the base of Gilmore Rd. at 3:30 pm on Sunday Nov. 24th. It flew off around 4:00 pm and has not been seen since. Many other birders saw the ELTE at Gilmore during its short stay there. Best of luck searching for rarities.
