The prothonotary warbler is still entertaining many birders who walk the Tulip Tree Trail. A hooded warbler treated birders as an excellent bonus while waiting for the prothonotary.
A clay-coloured sparrow was seen at both the Tulip Tree Trail and near the Marsh Trail on Water St. The morning bird hike along the Marsh Trail produced a calling least bittern, American bittern, sedge wren, marsh wren, sora and a Virginia rail was seen skulking in the cattails.

A warm beginning to the week caused many more migrants to arrive in Ottawa, and then a change to cold weather and north winds seems to have caused them to stay. Songbirds were of course the highlights, with Warbling and Red- eyed Vireo now common, and 20 of our 25 regularly-occurring species of warblers have been reported since May 9th, mostly from the Britannia Conservation Area but also from other locations. Uncommon migrants included Orange-crowned and Northern Parula, and other goodies for our area were Cape May, Blackburnian and Bay- breasted. Least Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird, House Wren, Rose- breasted Grosbeak and Bobolink have begun to move in, Veery and Wood Thrush were also new since May 11th, and White-crowned Sparrows are still moving through. A report from the Alfred sewage lagoons included several interesting birds, as well as new information regarding access for birders to these lagoons. On May 10th, there were 6 Redhead, 12 Ruddy Ducks, 16 Gadwall, 16 Northern Shoveler, 15 Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Least Sandpiper, and 6 Wilson's Phalaropes. An access permit for birders is now available from the Alfred and Plantagenet Township office - please contact Richard Villeneuve at (613) 679-2292 for information about purchasing a permit to bird at these very productive lagoons. In other reports of interest, on May 13th, 2 Green Herons were along Watt's Creek on the south side of Carling Ave. opposite Rifle Rd. a Caspian Tern was seen flying briefly over Mud Lake at Britannia and then heading towards the river on the 11th, 2 Common Terns were in the same area on the morning of the 13th, a Northern Mockingbird was at the Arboretum of the Central Experimental Farm on the 11th and was seen again in the "backyard garden" of the Fletcher Wildlife Garden on the evening of the 13th. And last but not least, 2 of the 4 Peregrine Falcon eggs on the nest ledge of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Ottawa have hatched, and both young were viewed here on the 11th. Thank you - Good Birding! - End transcript
