Through a mixup this is a slightly late report. As occurred last week, the immature NORTHERN GANNET was seen over Hamilton Harbour, on the Skyway side of Pier 25, between 08:00 and 08:30 YESTERDAY, Dec. 10, 2002 TAke the QEW to Eastport Drive, follow Eastport to Toolgate POnds. Look for two tall construction cranes on the bridge side of the harbour, and the big Dofasco sign across the harbour. It appeared that the bird may have roosted on one of the ships tied up to the east. At Niagara Falls yesterday there were two LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULLS on the control gate breakwall above the falls, two PURPLE SANDPIPERS on the rocks opposite the nature area above the old powerhouse (look to the right of a large log which looks like an arch in mid-river), and an adult and an immature ICELAND GULL at Adam Beck. No sign of recently reported rarities. Mike Mike Street Ancaster, Ontario, Canada mikestreet@hwcn.org Mike Street <mikestreet@hwcn.org>
