Hi Everyone
Did a quick check along the Ottawa River this morning off Dick Bell Park
and Andrew Haydon Park. I observed 4 large flocks of Black Scoters totaling
600+ (mainly males) and 2 Red-throated Loons. The scoters were very restless
flying around, breaking up into smaller flocks, gaining altitude, then
descending back to land on the river. Also noted 2 Red-necked Grebe, 7
Horned Grebe, 27 male White-winged Scoter and 11 Long-tailed Duck.
good birding
