Hello ontbirders, Tom Hanrahan and I took an early morning drive out to Larose today. Larose is a maze of concession roads and trails, but Tom navigates very well. Along these roads today we had 16 species of Warblers. Presumably all breeding. A lot of birds singing and some took some work to find in appropriate habitat. It's a great drive but beware if you get out of the car as the Deer flies are abundant everywhere.
Warblers: Mourning, Cape May, Canada, Blackburnian, Magnolia, BT Blue, BT Green, N Waterthrush, Ovenbird, Nashville, Pine, Yellow, Common Yellowthroat, Black and White, Chestnut-Sided and Yellow-Rumped. Other notables included: Red-Shouldered Hawk, Black-Billed Cuckoo (heard), YB Sapsucker, Brown Creeper, Indigo Buntings, Scarlet Tanagers, R-B Grosbeaks and Purple Finch. Good birding, Jay Peterson Ottawa (Britannia) Directions courtesy of NeilyWorld, >From Highway 417, 39 km east of Ottawa, take the Limoges exit (79) and go NNW for 4.4 km on Limoges Road (CR 5), through the town of Limoges to the junction of this road with Regional Roads 8 and 37. Follow the right hand curve on Regional 37 or the Saumure/Clarence-Cambridge Boundary Road northeast for 0.9 km to where Saumure turns left. Then continue straight northeast on the Clarence-Cambridge Boundary Road into the forest. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
