Saw and heard 2 Fish crows at the top of Bowen Street where there is a gravel parking lot for a golf course at 11am today, then scoped the Black-headed gull with the bonapartes by the marina quite easily. Saw both target birds within 10minutes ,nice day to be out, now off to watch the big game
Directions below from Geoff Carpentier email. Fort Erie: from the source of the Niagara river travel north on the Niagara River Parkway past the railway bridge that crosses the river. Watch for Bowen on your left hand side. From here you can scan the American side and see the swarms of gulls by the marina (this is actually Squaw Island which doesn't look like an island, but rather a concrete pier). Patience should yield the Black-headed, Kittiwake and Little Gulls. Travel about 0.5 kms further north and watch for a sandy beach on the river side of the road and the parkette on the landward side. This is where the crows came in starting about 3:30 p.m. We left about 4:15. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
