Hi Ontbirders The male Eurasian Wigeon was still present today at the Moodie Drive ponds just south of Trail Road. It was with a male American Wigeon. Also had a number of migrant warblers at Mud Lake/Britannia Conservation area including 15+ Blackpoll, 2 Wilson's, 1 Black-throated Blue, 3 Black-throated Green, 4 Yellow-rumped, 2 Tennessee, and 2 Magnolia Warbler. With the cooler temperatures and rain there were 100's of swallows feeding low over the Ottawa River including 150+ Cliff, 100+ Tree, 200+ Bank, 150 Barn, 15+ Northern Rough-winged, and 50+ Purple Martin. Good birding, Bruce
