2 juvenile Kittiwakes were seen today at the Moodie drive pond about 4 pm. They were on the water, not flying, but the neck band was quite visible. 2 other birders had not seen them by about 3.30 pm despite being there for several hours. Possible the weather change (rain started about 4.20 pm) was a contributing factor.
Kim Zbitnew, Ottawa Independent Directions to this Site: From Highway 416 take exit 66 (Fallowfield Road). If southbound, a 0.4 km off ramp dumps onto Fallowfield, where you will turn right or west. If northbound, the 0.4 km off ramp brings you to Fallowfield, where you will turn left or west onto it and in 0.5 km join the southbound off ramp traffic. Both groups will now follow Fallowfield Road west for an additional 0.4 km to reach Moodie Drive. Turn left or southeast onto Moodie Drive and go 5.3 km, passing Cambrian Road to reach the quarries (second gate on the left). Park along the side of the road without blocking the access. Please do not enter the property! _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
