[Ontbirds] Ottawa: Eurasian wigeon at Moodie Gravel Pit (largest one)
This morning (May 19) Jim Nealon and I pulled up to the main Moodie Drive gravel pit and began checking the waterfowl. Among the first birds we saw were two wigeon, a male Eurasian wigeon and a female. The ducks slowly swam to the middle of the pit and we were so busy watching the male that we took scant notice of the female and so did not get many details on her. We saw the birds around 9 a.m. They were there when we left. Directions (from memory right now): >From 416 just south of the Queensway (417) take Fallowfield west to Moodie and turn left (south). The main pit is visible on the left side from the roadside, after passing intersection with Cambrian and Trail roads. -- Howard Youth howard.yo...@gmail.com ___ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.

Hello Ontbirders Yesterday, June 26th at 1:00pm I observed the male Eurasian Wigeon at the pond on Moodie Drive. It was with a flock of 5 American Wigeon.
