Hi Everyone This morning at around 9:15a.m. there was an adult Ross's Goose feeding in a corn field with a large concentration of Canada Geese along Boundary Road just north of Cooper Hill Road. There were 1000's of Canada Geese feeding in the various corn fields and reports from Carlsbad Springs/ Bear Brook indicated a large increase, 25,000 + since yesterday. Snowy Owls continue to move north through the Ottawa area. I counted a total of 11 owls sitting on the remaining ice along the Ottawa River (Lake Deschenes) yesterday, April 17th.
Good birding, Bruce Directions: From Ottawa take Hwy.417 east to Boundary road exit and turn right. Follow south to Cooper Hill Road.
