West Humber field trip: Niagara Gulls
Title: West Humber field trip: Niagara Gulls
Description: Join Join Kevin Shackleton for the West Humber Naturalist club’s annual excursion to the Niagara area. The Niagara River hosts a wide variety of gull species in winter while the surrounding area can be good for Carolinian songbirds, various waterfowl, and even some birds of prey. Pack a field guide, lunch, binos, and a scope if you have one. Be prepared for cold, damp weather and bring enough lunch to get you through the day; there is likely only one stop at Tim’s in the morning and then nothing until late afternoon.
To car pool, meet at Vellore Hall at 6:50 a.m. on Sunday, Nov 28th. Those who want to go directly to the Falls area should head for the parking lot at the greenhouse south of the falls for 8:30. Stops will include the area around the barge, the interior pond, and Chippewa for Carolinian species. After that, we can stop for coffee at Tim’s and work our way downstream to Niagara-on-the-Lake. If time allows, a visit to Van Wagner’s Beach on the way home is possible. Call Kevin at 905-853-6959 if you require further information prior to the trip.
Start Time: 6:50 a.m.
