Hi Everyone
Yesterday, November 19, birded various areas in Ottawa. The 3 Purple
Sandpipers were still present at Britannia Pier at 1:30pm. Near the corner
of Moodie Drive and Brophy Side Road we observed 1 Greater White-fronted
Goose, 2 Snow "Blue" morph, 1000's of Canada's and 1 adult Lesser
Black-backed Gull. These birds were all on the south side of Brophy. At Dick
Bell Park there was still 1 Brant feeding near the parking lot. At our final
stop of the afternoon, we observed a hybrid Barrow's x Common Goldeneye at
Remic Rapids. This maybe the same individual that has winter along the
Rideau/Ottawa River the past few years.
