Hi, Late this afternoon along Earl Armstrong Road there were numerous raptors including light and dark phase Rough-legged Hawks, male and female Northern Harriers and 2 Red-tailed Hawks. At dusk, 3 Short-eared Owls appeared and immediately dive bombed the harriers until they drove them away. There were also several flocks of Snow Buntings totaling at least 500. Amongst the buntings were several Lapland Longspurs. Also present was a small flock of Horned Larks. A lone Great Blue Heron flew past as the sun set.
Earl Armstrong Road (formerly Armstrong Road) is south of the Ottawa International Airport. From Hunt Club Road, south on Limebank to Earl Armstrong, or alternately, south on Bank Street, south on Albion, west on High Road, west on Earl Armstrong.
