Hello Ontbirders, There appears to be a movement of Arctic Terns in progress along the Ottawa River today. I had two separate birds go over while I was doing point counts for the atlas this morning. I had another bird go past when I made a brief stop at the river. All 3 individuals would have been visible from any access points at Constance Bay. The best access point for viewing (narrowest point) is near The Point restaurant.
Constance Bay is about 30 minutes west of Ottawa. From highway 417, take either March Valley Road exit, then turn west onto Dunrobin Road. After passing through Dunrobin and Woodlawn, turn right onto Constance Bay Road and follow it to the river. Turn left and watch for the Point Restaurant after 1 or 2 kms. The birds I saw were all heading west along the river. Others are likely to be seen from any point along the river between Ottawa and Petawawa today.
