In the muddy fields surrounding Kettles Road south of Ottawa, five AMERICAN
WOODCOCKS were peenting this evening just after sunset. A single WILSON'S
SNIPE was also heard. Later in the evening, probably around 8PM, I heard the
call of a NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL far off in the distance, just at the edge of
hearing.
Good birding!
DIRECTIONS: Kettles Road is located south of Munster. From Ottawa, take
Fallowfield Road at Prince of Wales Drive, heading west for 25km. Turn left
onto Munster Road and head south for approximately 7km. Turn left onto Kettles
Road and follow past the railway. There is parking on the side of the road
near a vacant trailer; the woodcocks can be heard and seen in the field here.
