Hello Ontbirders
We had an excellent day after some miserable weather yesterday.
It started early at Ottawa Beach (Andrew Haydon Park east) with a
relatively tight flock of 11 Cackling Geese mixed with the Canadas.
Also present was a Blue Goose. A flyover of a single adult winter
Bonaparte's Gull was mildly interesting.
When we returned at noon, there was an adult Greater White-fronted
Goose in with the Canadas.
In a harvested farm field along Akins Road there was a tight flock of
42 American Golden Plovers.
Along Brownlee Road, we had a flock of 6 Lapland Longspurs.
In this general area there were several small flocks of Horned Larks,
American Pipits, a flock of about 150 Snow Buntings, 5 various
plumaged Rough-legged Hawks and a male Northern Harrier.
