Optimal conditions for Arctic Tern today on the Ottawa River, at 6:30 this evening I located a flock of 17 at Britannia Pt. Also present, 20+ Bonaparte's Gull, 1 Little Gull (2 there this morning) and 2 Black Tern. The Arctics settled on the water several times in a tight flock. Britannia point is located at the east end of Cassel's Street, there is an informal parking area behind the filtration plant.
