Hi Everyone
Chris Michener phoned from the landfill site to report that the 3rd
winter Slaty-backed Gull found on November 20th at the Ottawa Valley Waste
Recovery Centre near Pembroke was still present today at 10:35am.
good birding, Bruce
To enter the landfill as a guest, call ahead (613-735-7537) to the landfill
and ask for Elizabeth Graham. She has some rules and wants everyone to
check in at the entry office. You wait for the green light and then drive
up on the scales to check in. The best time to visit is between 11 AM and 1
PM. You shouldn't leave your car unless you are wearing certified safety
gear. It is also a good idea to stay in your car and use it as a blind,
driving near the gulls very slowly. Scope from the window, although
binoculars are sometimes enough. Other gulls at the landfill are HEGU,
GBBG, RBGU and GLGU.
To get to the landfill, drive north of Eganville staying on Hwy 41 for about
14 km., then turn left on B-Line Rd. Go about 2 km. travelling around a
curve to the left and at the end of the curve turn left onto County Rd 56,
also called Woito Station Road. The landfill is on your right about 3 km.
down Cty Rd 56.
