For your info. Here is a message sent out by Curt McDermott about the status of visiting Goat Island in New York State today. Niagara road conditions will likely be treacherous as well.
Kayo Kayo Roy 13 Kinsman Court Fonthill, ON L0S 1E3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Curt McDermott To: NYS RBA NYS RBA Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 9:41 AM Subject: [nysbirds-l] Niagara Falls Area Weather update After missing the Ross's Gull yesterday, I was anxious to hear an update this morning. At 9:15am I spoke to Ed Coyle who advised me that overnight, the weather had changed for the worse. Goat Island (the best vantage point on the US side) is currently closed. Winds have gusted to 70 MPH removing the roof from a long standing Bank. Road conditions were also described as hazzardous due to icing and have caused several accidents as well as winds flipping Tractor Trailers. Canada does offer some good vantage points and the bird was seen from that side yesterday. Good luck if you go, but be advised of the conditions.
