In addition to the positive post this evening from Peter Hall about the large flock still near the Quebec border in a bay along south service rd. east of Lancaster, another flock of 5000+ was seen on the Ottawa River at L'Orignal on Saturday and Sunday as noted by Jacques Rochon, Président Club de Miroise de l'Est ontarien ''MiroisEont''. The birds were on the ice near shore, on the water as well as periodically lifting off.
Directions: From highway 17, turn left at the first set of lights in L’Orignal onto Longueuil Street. At the stop sign turn left again onto John Street. Turn immediately on your right on King Street. The second street on your left will be Wharf Street. The pier is at the end of Wharf. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
