Gone Birdin'

Hi all!

This past Saturday, at a bright and early 8am, some River captains and the Riverkeeper staff headed out for a Captain's training session on birding. We toured Grand Island and ended up on Goat Island in Niagara falls State Park and, thanks to Jim and Ed, we were able to see some pretty incredible birds. We spotted some goldeneyes and buffleheads on Grand Island and we even spotted a beautiful white coyote checking us out from across the river on Navy Island. Once on Goat Island, Jim and Ed spotted a mature and an immature black-crowned night heron perching near the rapids.
