There were 2 Barrow's Goldeneye (males) at 2:30-3:00 in the Rideau River, near the417 bridge (downtown Ottawa). One was about level with the parking lot at the south endof North River Rd. (or a couple of hundred yards north of the 417 bridge). The other was about twenty yards south of the footbridge there. Also 3 Wild Turkey east of the footbridge, a hundred yards or so down the footpath. Nick von Maltzahn Directions (from NeilyWorld): From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take exit 117(Vanier Parkway). Go northwest 1.2 km to Donald Street and turn left or westonto it. Proceed 0.5 km to North River Road. Turn left again on North RiverRoad and park at the south end of Riverain Park. Walk to the nearby river and on south under the 417 to get to the footbridge._______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
