Birders,
I realize that posting anything but Greater White-fronted Geese during the weekend of the OFO conference is a bit taboo, but I figured I'd break the rules a bit to advise of some Black Vultures seen today in the Niagara area, specifically Queenston Heights. Near noon, Lisa Teskey and I had 5 of these birds from the Locust Grove Picnic Area. Three of the birds were flying down the river, then headed over New York State, the other 2 were atop a light standard located along the river gorge. I realize these birds seem to be year round residents, but I still know birders needing this species for their Ontario list! So what are you waiting for!? The Locust Grove Picnic Area is in Queenston and can be accessed by taking the QEW Niagara, then taking the 405 Niagara on The Lake. Exit at Stanley Blvd, turn left and then right on Portage Ave until its end where you will go right and quickly turn left into the picnic area located at the traffic circle. Park and walk to the fenceline and watch the vultures.
