Seven people enjoyed a cheerful, bright day birding around Ottawa at 23 C.
We saw 26 species with Greater Scaup and White throated Sparrow being the
only unusual birds for the winter. We also saw four species of mammal,
including a Coyote. The stars of the day were a stunning white male and
lightly barred female adult Snowy Owls who played tag on a line of power
poles, with the female pushing the poor male off each time. We saw four
Snowies in total.
