There was a Great Egret seen at Petawawa Terrace Provincial Park this
morning ( May 1st ) at @ 10:00. I and the Outdoor Adventure Naturalist class
from Algonquin College watched it for about half an hour. We could not see if
the bird was banded because of the beaver dam that was between us and it. It
flew up and circled when a bald eagle arrived. We left w/o seeing it land
again, however it didn't appear to be leaving.
The park is located off Laurentian Drive in Petawawa. Laurentian Drive is
off of County Rd. 51 ( old Highway 17 ) approx. 15 km. N.W. of Pembroke, in the
ottawa valley.
Enjoy, Mark Dojczman.
