We decided to try for a century on July 31 and Aug 1 by birding the Valley.
We hit Mill of Kintail, Bill Mason CA, Andrew Haydon Park, Mud Lake, Moodie
Dr/Trail Rd Ponds, Leitrim Road at the airport, Petrie Island, Alfred and
Mer Bleu Bogs and Alfred lagoons. We reached 93 species in 2 days with the
following highlights:
9 species of sparrows mostly in the grassy fields south of Leitrim
(grasshopper, lincoln's and clay-coloured)
Bluebirds near Blakeney
Minor migration fallout at Mud lake with Red-eyed and Warbling Vireos,
Wilson's, Black-throated Green and Yellow Warblers
Lots of Vireos at Petrie Island and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Black Terns on the Ottawa river
American Bittern and Moorhen at Alfred lagoons
Alder and Willow Flycatachers at Leitrim and Bill Mason
Albino Kingbirds just south of Ashston
