Hi Ontbirders,
A quick trip to four of the sewage lagoons east of Ottawa (Embrun, St. Albert, Chesterville, & Winchester) this afternoon (Tuesday 24 April) produced scatterings of the (now) regular ducks, including Ruddy Ducks (Embrun, St.Albert, Chesterville), a few Lesser Scaup, & small numbers of American Wigeon & Gadwall. There was a pair of Blue-winged Teal at the Embrun Lagoon.
Shorebirds have yet to arrive in good numbers. There were two Greater Yellowlegs
at Embrun, but Winchester was the only place where there were a few new arrivals:
4 Wilson's Phalarope (all female), 5 Greater Yellowlegs, 3 Lesser Yellowlegs, &
3 Pectoral Sandpipers. Incidentally, the Winchester Lagoon is the only one where
there is much exposed mud (in one cell).
There were 3 Snow Geese feeding with Canada Geese in a field just north of
Morewood.
Please e-mail me privately for directions if required.
Roger Clark (Ottawa)

This morning I found 2 pairs of Green-winged Teal in a wet area
across from the Skeet Club near the eastern end of the road. When I
first turned on to this end, There were 6 Turkey Vultures overhead.
Soon a pair of Yellow-shafted Flickers flew across the road! Many
Canada Geese are nesting everywhere in the area.

Around 4.00 p.m., John and I had good views of two pine warblers in the
Bronte Woods, on the east side, just off the pipeline trail. Earlier, a few
kilometres west at Shoreacres/Paletta Lakeshore Park, we saw our first spotted
sandpiper and kingfisher.

Sorry for the late posting on this sighting. I just now arrived back at
my computer.
Despite the attrocious weather, at approx. 3 PM today a group from the
Guelph Field Naturalists found an adult Henslow's Sparrow.
The bird was found sitting on a small branch of a bush on Concession A
where the 3 bridges cross Big Creek.
Exact location is on the south side of Concession A between the second
and third bridge counting from west to east.
It was approx. 20 ft from the edge of the creek and about 3 feet off the
ground. After viewing the bird for approx. 2 minutes, it jumped down
into the grass underneath, and was lost to view. After 15 mins of trying
to refind the bird, we gave up.
Also of interest, while we were examining the bird through our binos to
note field marks, and colours, a Whip-poor Will called from a not too
distant location to the south east of where the sparrow was found. We
were unable to locate this bird.
An OBRC report will be filed shortly.
Directions
From Lakeshore Drive and HWY 59 at Port Rowan, go 1 concession road
north on Hwy 59 (about 1 KM.) turn left or West on Concession A until
you turn a sharp "S" curve and drop into a marshy depression. The
bridges are straight ahead a few hundred feet.
Ensure you pull well off the road to allow traffic through, and do not
block passage over the bridges.
