While the goose we saw above Niagara Falls Thursday, was a close match for the immature W-f Goose depicted in the Nat'l Geographic guide (and not their Greylag picture), Willie D'Anna warns that there has been escaped Greylag in that area and Willie has likely been at much closer range than us. So be warned!

Directions: Exit the QEW at Burloak and go towards the lake. Burloak = becomes Great Lakes. Turn left at the lights at Lakeshore. The Petro = Canada Pier is very close to those lights.

A Northern Parula was certainly a highlight along the pathway leading to the platform. The wetland was frozen over in the early morning. Later, the usual ducks, along with 2 Am.Coots were seen. Many of us enjoyed watching the "antics" of a juvenile Peregrine Falcon between 9 and 10am--harassed and being harassed by resident N.Harriers to the east over the alder island. 4 of the 5 N.Harriers counted were male. At 1130am (the recent times for arrival of the Golden Eagles (!!), a SHORT-EARED OWL came through low.
