Hi Ontbirders,
Kim Toews and I birded east of Ottawa today, and I was able to re-locate
the Long-billed Dowitcher that was originally found on March 21st on
Frank Kenny Road. It was feeding along the river by the bridge. Some
patience will likely been needed as it often disappeared from view for
long periods, either hidden by Canada Geese or the river bank. While
watching the Dowitcher I had a Golden Eagle fly over with a Red-tailed
Hawk. They were both soaring and slowly heading north. I also stopped
at the Giroux Road ponds, which had 4 Snow Geese mixed in with the
thousands of Canada's.
Good Birding!

on the west side of Frank Kenny, south of the bridge at the gravel pull out.
