Hi Ontbirders, We had a beautiful and bird-filled autumn day in Ottawa's west end today.
Highlights include the following: Long-billed Dowitcher at Constance Bay Nelson's Sparrow at Constance Bay A total of 33 Hudsonian Godwits between Constance Bay and Ottawa Beach (several small flocks and individuals). A Cackling Goose near Ottawa Beach. A Ross's Goose at the Moodie Drive Quarry Pond. Directions to Sharp-tailed Sparrow and assorted shorebirds courtesy of Jeff Skevington: Start at the fire access at the intersection of Sand Bay Street and Baillie Avenue. To get there, follow Constance Bay Drive in from Dunrobin Road. Turn right on Baillie just past the liquor store. Sand Bay is about 400 m east.Directions to Ross's Goose, Cackling Goose and Hudsonian Godwits courtesy of Neily WorldOttawa Beach: http://www.neilyworld.com/neilyworld/orwo13.htm Moodie Drive Quarry Pond: http://www.neilyworld.com/neilyworld/stony8.htm Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!
