For us working stiffs who missed the Godwit Bonanza earlier this week, there
are still a few moving about, at 9:30 there was a mixed flock of about 20
Hudsonian Godwit and Black-bellied Plover on the (distant) rocky island off
Ottawa Beach, they eventually flew off toward the Deschennes Rapids (where a
Peregrine was laying in wait). A Red-necked Grebe was also present off shore.

Directions from Neilyworld: From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take exit 129
(Greenbank & Pinecrest Roads). If travelling west, the 0.3 km offramp dumps you
right or north onto Pinecrest Road. If driving east, a 0.3 km offramp brings
you to Pinecrest/Greenbank Road, where you will turn left or north onto
Pinecrest Road and in 0.4 km join the westbound offramp traffic. Both groups
will now follow Pinecrest Road north 1.0 km from here to Carling Avenue. Turn
left or west on Carling and go 1.7 km to the turnoff for the parking lot for
Ottawa Beach on the right or north. Turn right into the lot.
