[Ontbirds]26 May: Etobicoke waterfront Whimbrel update.
Apparently the Whimbel migration hasn't lost its momentum ... which is good new for those who haven't had their WHIMBREL fix yet. I suspect with another system moving through over night and tomorrow morning their will be a fair number of Whimbrel still on move tomorrow. Since the morning posting Whimbrels have been moving past the park regularly until 5:00 pm when I just left.

[Ontbirds]Great Egret - Ottawa - Riverside South Area - Saturday
A great egret was observed in the stormwater management area of Riverside South (along River Road) on Saturday. What I assume to be the same bird was seen in a tree in the same area on Friday afternoon. Directions: The stormwater ponds are along River Road - heading southbound, shortly past Leitrim Road on the left hand side. The Egret was observed on the 3rd pond (furthest south). The stormwater ponds can also be observed from walking trails accessible from within the subdivision.
