The Ross's Gull was a no-show for the entire weekend. There are still lots of interesting gulls around and I suspect the Ross's Gull is also. People have been checking different parts of the river. 2 Little Gulls at the Whirlpool (Spanish Aero Car), a first-winter Herring X Glausous Gull (aka "Nelson's Gull") at Adam Beck (the power plants), along with a first-winter and adult Thayer's Gull, and several Iceland Gulls.
Today, I found a very dark SNOWY OWL on the south side of Rt 18 (Lake Rd up by Lake Ontario), right at the Wilson-Porter Townline (Niagara County). So, if coming from the east, look for the Town of Porter sign; if coming from the west, look for the Town of Wilson sign. Lots of Snow Buntings, Horned Larks, and a few Lapland Longspurs on a manure spread near the corner of Hulbert and Youngstown-Wilson Roads in the Town of Wilson (reported by Dick Salembier, Jim Pawlicki, and Dave Gordon). Good birding!
