The Black-headed Gull was in its usual spot this morning at 11.00 A.M. just south of the Queenston boat ramp. Also present, among others, was a Little Gull and a Bald Eagle flew across the river to the American side.
Directions: 405 Hwy. to last exit before the border which leads to the Niagara Parkway. Left on Niagara Parkway, continue down the hill and then make a right on Dumfries St. This will take you to the parking area for the boat ramp. Take the trail up-river a couple of hundred metres until you see two stone structures across the river with a waterfall a little further on. The Black-headed Gull was flying back and forth in this area, as is its custom. Caution: The trail is very slippery and Mr. Murr's alternate viewing area, posted yesterday, is a wise choice particularly for those not wanting to risk injury from a fall.
