Hi All,
Today, May 31, my wife and I observed six Great Egrets on the Niagara River
in Fort Erie. They were observed on the stone pier slightly south of the
International Railway Bridge at 2:00 PM this afternoon. Two egrets flew up
river as we were leaving the parking area.
Four Dunlin were observed on Lake Erie at "Jaeger Rocks" near Lakeshore Road
and Adelaide Street at 3:00 PM this afternoon.

Directions:
Stone Pier on the Niagara River
In Fort Erie, exit the QEW at the Central Avenue exit. Turn right on to
Central Avenue and continue towards the river and head north (turning left)
on the Niagara Parkway (Lakeshore Rd/Niagara Blvd.). The parking area south
of the
International Railway Bridge is 1.5 km from the south end of Central Avenue
and on the right. Catherine Street will be on the left.
"Jaeger Rocks"
As above, but turn right on to Lakeshore Road. Lakeshore Road follows the
Lake Erie shoreline. At Lakeshore Road and Adelaide Street a rocky area
along the shoreline is apparent.
