Hi Ontbirders,
We had an extremely rewarding morning birding areas east of Ottawa. It started with a single Nelson's Sparrow at the south end of the causeway of Petrie Island. At the Giroux ponds we had 3 Ross's Geese (one juvenile and two adults) with a flock of 150 Snow Geese (all white morph, various sizes and ages). Also present at the pond were 8 Hudsonian Godwits, 11 Pectoral Sandpiper, 11 White-rumped Sandpipers, 60 Killdeer and one Red-necked Grebe.
