Hello Ontbirders
Spent the morning birding along the Ottawa River from Shirley's Bay to Remic
Rapids. The highlight of the morning was 2000+ Bohemian Waxwings in flocks
of 100-300 at various locations including Britannia Conservation Area, Bate
Island, along the Ottawa River Parkway, Shirley's Bay and in the Arboretum
area. Also, noted 150+ Cedar Waxwings mixed in the flocks. There were 100's
of Ring-billed Gulls at Deschenes Rapids along with 6 Glaucous and 1 Iceland
Gull. Observed 2 adult Bald Eagle between Deschenes and Remic Rapids.
I made a quick stop along Maple Grove Road off Terry Fox Drive in Kanata
south and had 8 Gray Partridge at 1655 Maple Grove Road, they were walking
around the base of some of the spruce trees just west of the buildings. Best
to check the area from the Sensplex parking lot to 1655 Maple Grove Road. If
you require additional information, please email me privately.
good birding, Bruce
