[Ontbirds] Ottawa: Northern Wheatear (late report)
Hello Ontbirders I just received photos for identification and the bird in question turned out of a Northern Wheatear. It was photographed on Petrie Island, just east of Ottawa on October 16, 2010. I have no further information but I'm sure someone will be out tomorrow morning checking for the bird. I was seen at the beach where there is a rock jetty just left of the point. There are some picnic tables in the area. Good birding, Bruce Directions: Take Highway 417 east to the 174/417 split, stay left and continue along 174 east to the Trim Road exit. Turn left and follow to Petrie Island. Di Labio Birding Website Courses and Field Trips http://www.dilabiobirding.ca http://www.brucedilabio.blogspot.com Bruce Di Labio 400 Donald B. Munro Drive P.O.

[Ontbirds]Ottawa - NORTHERN WHEATEAR @ Nepean Sailing Club
Hello Ontbirds people, A NORTHERN WHEATEAR was discovered today, Oct. 19, at the Nepean Sailing Club (a.k.a. Dick Bell Park) along the Ottawa River. It was reported to Bob Cermak by a birder from the U.S. who he happened to encounter at Andrew Haydon Park. Bob saw the bird @ 2:30 pm and promptly alerted others, who were able to see it as well. It was still present as of at least 4:30 pm, on the north side of the rock jetty, approx. 100 m. from the lighthouse at the end of the path. The bird appears to be a juvenile with a rich cinammon buff wash across the breast and sides and a weak auricular patch, resembling the nonbreeding female-plumaged bird portrayed in Sibley, but with darker contrast on the wings. It was surprisingly wary, flushing up frequently from the rocks along the river side of the rock jetty, then perching out in the open in an upright posture. DIRECTIONS: Ottawa - take Hwy 417 west to exit 131 (Bayshore Dr. / Richmond Rd.). Proceed north on Bayshore Dr. until it ends at Carling Avenue. Turn left (west) on Carling, and go past Andrew Haydon Park. The entrance to the Neapean Sailing Club / Dick Bell Park is well-signed. Park at the 1st public parking area and walk north to the path along the rock jetty. Walk slowly on the north side, as close to the rocks as possible without ending up in the river. Good Birding!
