Jeff Skivington and I toured some hot spots east of Ottawa today. Birds of
interest included 2 fresh juvenile Baird's Sandpiper, a Ruddy Turnstone and an
adult White-rumped Sandpiper (Embrum lagoon); 4 juvenile Red-necked Phalarope
and three American Coot (St Isidore Lagoon), Sandhill Crane (Alfred Lagoon) and
the now long staying Eared Grebe at Carillon Dam on the Ottawa River on the
ON/QC border. Also present at Carillon were 69 Common Tern and two Bonaparte's
Gull.
All of these sites can be easily located using the hot spot function on e-bird.
