Hello Ontbirders The 5 Tundra Swans were still present today just south of Ottawa along Hwy 416 north of the Dilworth Road exit 42. The swans have been present since last week on the east side of the highway in the flooded fields. Also present were 100+ Northern Pintail and 2000+ Canada Geese. There was a Northern Shrike along Dunrobin Road at Woodlawn today and an early Virginia Rail was heard calling along Riddell Road yesterday. Good Birding, Bruce
Directions: From Ottawa take Hwy 416 south to Dilworth exit and then Hwy 416 north and watch for the swans on the east side of the highway.
