Hello Ontbirders. A brief visit to Mud Lake, near the Britannia Filtration Plant, on April 25 around 5:30 P.M. yielded a pair of Wood Ducks, a pair of of Buffleheads and one Shoveler patrolling the dead stumps in the middle of the lake.
Also, lots of Yellow-rump warblers. To get to Mud Lake, which is well inside Ottawa city limits, take the Woodroffe exit north off Highway 417, turn left on Carling avenue. After Carling crosses Richmond Road, turn right on Britannia Rd., to the end, and turn right on Cassels. The lake is on the right.
