Observation details
**Rare. Juvenile. First December record for Ontario Beach. Andy and I had split up to look for Sanderling, which had briefly disappeared. When I looked back toward him, I saw a juvenile kittiwake sitting on the beach between us. The bird walked to the water as a dog walker came to the beach, and I quickly took a bit of video. After a couple minutes the bird flew a bit further out on the water and eventually disappeared. Unmistakeable. Smaller than Ring-billed Gulls, with short black legs and black bill. Prominent black collar. Dark M on wings and black tail tip obvious in flight.
