Hello,
Lise and I visited the Embrun Lagoon this afternoon, there was one Red-necked Phalarope still in the south-west cell, along with three Wilson's Phalaropes. Shorebirds included Dunlins, Sanderling, Least Sandpipers, Semipalated Sandpipers, Spotted Sandpipers, Baird's Sandpiper and Killdeers. There was one lone Brant, a female Wood Duck with a very recent young brood, a drake and hen Northern Pintail, a pair of Blue-winged Teal, a pair of Northern Shovelers, Mallards with their young and an almost fledge Wilson's Snipe in the tall grass next to the cells and of course the regular Canada Geese. Cheers, Brian Young Directions: Embrun is off the 417, approx 20 minutes east of Ottawa, Embrun Lagoon is approx 1 km south of the town of Embrun. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
