At least one adult black-bellied plover was feeding with a couple of juveniles just off Scrivens until about 4:45pm.
This may be the same one I saw earlier flying up and down Ottawa Beach and Scrivens. I was referring to the mudflats at Scrivens earlier. A Great Black-backed Gull is feeding on a dead fish just off Scrivens as well. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2012 17:29:30 +0000 > Subject: [Ontbirds] Black-bellied Plovers (Ottawa) > > Hi Ontbirders: > > Took a drive down to Scrivens Road to see the earlier reported Black-Bellied > Plovers.
