Please note that if anyone is planning to try for this bird today, the weather sounds very similar to yesterday. The fog on the river was very heavy until after 1 PM and only cleared sufficiently to see the gulls on the river for about 3 hours, 1:15 - 4:15 PM. Even during this period there was a light layer of fog over the river which made viewing challenging at times.
Good birding,Garth Garth Riley Etobicoke, Ontario rileygv@yahoo.com
