While returning from a run up Route 148 on the Quebec side of the Ottawa
River to Lac la Peche road, a sub-adult Northern Goshawk was spotted perched
in a tree by the road (Route 148) north of Eardley. I apologize that I
cannot be more specific about the location. I got so excited and tried to
get a photo that I forgot to notice exactly where I was. It was close to
11:30 am. Earlier at the Deschenes Rapids lookout area on the Quebec side
an Adult Bald Eagle was on the ice edge in the river north of the rapids
and one White-winged Scoter was seen in among the dozens of Common
Goldeneye. Another birder mentioned that there were actually three adult
Bald eagles in this area earlier that morning. I was there about 9am.
Good birding,
Heather Pickard.
