My son and I observed and photographed a female harlequin duck diving and fishing in Lake Ontario off the armour stone beach at about 2:30 pm on Saturday, April 14. At least one digital photo is available now, and maybe more when I get my film back today. Other notables - Caspian tern, ruddy, grebes (red necked/horned), wigeon, gadwall, female ring-necked, scaup, bufflehead, coots, red breasted merganser. I think that's it.

One just inside the entrance gate and several on the path close to the river. Also saw 2 pairs of Wood Ducks at the far (south) end of Mud Lake near the foot bridge. Directions: Pinecrest Road (exit 129) off the Hwy 417. Go north on Pinecrest, then turn right (east) onto Richmond Road. After Richmond crosses Carling Avenue, turn left (north) onto Poulin Avenue. Poulin intersects with Britannia Road. Turn right onto Britannia, go to end near yacht club and turn right on Cassels Street. Proceed to entrance to Britannia Woods and park. Go through the gate on the north (river side) side of Cassels and take path along river. Kinglets were in prickly shrubs on either side of path. Don Wigle Ottawa
