Birds on the Niagara this weekend

Birds on the Niagara, the world’s only international birding festival, is this weekend.

The annual, cross-border event celebrates our Important Birding Area and the wonder of gulls.

There are 18 or 19 different gulls overwintering in the Niagara strait as well as a vast variety of ducks and even some oddball kittiwakes and the occasional godwit.
