I know about tourists

The gulls were utterly unphased by the well mannered tourists on the walkway. There were even ones nesting on rocks in unfenced areas. I was told that chasing one off it's nest to try to get an egg picture was not done. _

goat island colony

The gulls seem to live off stuff picked out of the rapids above the falls. I'm curious whether fish that live upstream from Niagara have developed a reluctance to swim downstream, and whether it is cultural or genetic. _

bottom of the bridal veil

All the rocks at the bottom were covered with healthy quantities of something remarkably green and slimy. The wooden walkways to the left are the "Cave of the winds" walk. You can just see 2 people in yellow ponchos. _
