The only thing different that I heard about today was a BLACK-HEADED GULL
seen feeding on the Buffalo side of the river from Fort Erie, Ont. It was
just south of the International RR bridge. The female HARLEQUIN DUCK at
Niagara-on-the-Lake was seen again this morning. I don't believe the Purple
Sandpipers were found today. White-winged gulls seemed more difficult to
find today, especially above the falls.
Good birding!

A wonderful day's "winter birding" in the Long Point area. Highlights:
2 Grey Partridge with an enormous flock of Horned Larks, Snow Buntings
and Mourning Doves in a cornfield adjacent to Brantford Airport( just
east of #24 ). A female Coopers Hawk put the birds up as it flew low
over the field.
- On Front St. east of Fisher's Glen were 12 male Eastern Bluebirds,
a Flicker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, a male Oregon Junco visiting a
feeder, Cowbirds, 4 Pine Siskins, a male Eastern Towhee and
White-throated Sparrows.
- On the beach at Turkey Point was a Killdeer and 10 American Pipits.
2 adult Bald Eagles, 200+ Tundra Swans, and a Horned Grebe could be
seen from the marina.
- In Port Rowan a Wilson's Snipe, Swamp Sparrow and many Grackles
were around the Biosphere Reserve sign. Over 40 Sandhill Cranes flew
over. On Long Point Bay were many Redhead, a few Canvasback, one Ruddy
Duck, Green-winged Teal, and several Hooded Mergansers.
- Winter Wren at Normandale sewage ponds.
- Two Fox Sparrows, a female Purple Finch, & a Carolina Wren were at
the Old Cut feeders, at the end of the causeway at Long Point.
