I spent a pleasant morning before work searching for the Piping Plover and
Louisiana Waterthrush found in Quebec close to Ottawa.
While I didn't find the Piping Plover, the Louisiana Waterthrush was seen
well, singing along the Chemin de Chutes (Waterfall Trail) in Gatineau Park
at about 7:15 am this morning. It was about 100m further south than
described in the directions below, past the second bridge at the
intersection of the Waterfall Trail and the Larriault Trail.
