Hi Ontbirders: At Petrie Islands along the Ottawa River east of Ottawa, A Great Egret was fishing in the marsh area to the left of the first causeway as you cross onto the island. On the north side of the island looking about halfway across the Ottawa River towards Quebec, there was a flock of seven White-winged Scoter.
Good birding Peter Hall Directions: From Ottawa, head east on Highway 174 until Trimm Road. Turn left at the lights here and follow over the causeway stopping to view the marsh. Then proceed to the end of the road where there is a parking lot. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
