Just as we were leaving today I spotted a Red Winged Black Bird..

On the trip down to  Port Colborne

I noticed many groups of crows flying North East  

The area where the creek enters bay at Port Colborne was open, there  were

many geese, mallards, and 4 Mute swans.

Near the South shore of Lake Ontario this evening while traveling the QEW I spotted many groups of Grackles....

Tonight (8:00 pm sharp) just as it was getting dark spotted a spectacular meteorite/fireball break up to the West of us as we were approaching home..

I added a Mute swan to my gallery (Niagara trips)
