Hello Ontbirders
Once again the parade of characters changes here in Ottawa.
Although heavy fog obscured visibility along the Ottawa River first
thing this am, several small flocks of geese and mallards seemed to
pepper the skies. Most interesting were two Greater Snow Geese flying
south over Andrew Hayden Park with a small flock of 8 Canadas. Shortly
after they were followed by an adult Common Loon.
At Britannia, songbirds were numerous including 17 species of warbler,
especially along the ridge.
Yellow-rumps were abundant to the point of being distracting.
Regardless, several individuals were noted of Northern Parula,
Nashville, Magnolia, Black-throated Green and Bay-breasted. Spread out,
among the warblers were 9 Scarlet Tanagers.
The crows in Britannia continue to give the Great Horned Owls a hard
time. Two different owls were mobbed in two separate locations - one
near the south end, and another in about 100 metres from the trail
entrance off Cassles Road.
