Birds on the brain

Today’s photos are from the Cave of the Winds. We visited Saturday as part of Birds on the Niagara.

We nabbed than the merganser triple, red breasted, hooded and common and also saw golden eye and bufflehead. There is so much ice in the river the gulls are way, way out but the lesser black back gulls are still near Three Sisters Island.

Park rangers were out in force with spotting scopes and binoculars but we didn’t see any birders we know. Here’s a link to the schedule. https://bird-niagara.org/2026-festival-u-s-schedule/
