Hi again Ontbirds people, A couple of points of clarification re: our earlier message (we could have worded it better):
1) re: Whimbrels - unlike southern Ontario, this species is a rare passage migrant in Ottawa and always causes excitement when encountered here. 2) re: Forster's Tern - of course this bird is NOT en route to the arctic archipelago. However, here in Ottawa it is on our "rare bird alert" list, a rare stray to the area. The most recent record was last September. Prior to that, the species was last seen here in 1991.
