Hello Ontbirders, and especially Ottawa Winter Listers
There is a drake Green-winged Teal (carolinensis) coming to a feeder
beside a town home complex parking lot, in the South Keys area of
Ottawa.
The bird associates closely with Blacks & Mallards. It was observed
swimming in Saw Mill Creek, occasionally coming up to the feeding
station at the edge of the parking lot.
Directions:
From Bank Street south, past Walkley Road, immediately after the
railway overpass, turn left (east) on Johnston Road.
Turn immediately right at Southgate Road. Continue to the second lane
on the right and go to the visitors parking at the very end.
The bird was observed today right at the edge of the parking lot.
From Bank Street North, just past Hunt Club, turn right (east) on
Johnston. Continue as per above.
Cheerio
