Hi all, Today, at approximately 1:30 PM, I observed an adult KUMLIEN'S GULL at Andrew Haydon east/Ottawa Beach off of Carling Ave.This bird was amidst a flock consisting of Herring, Ring-billed, and, Great Black-backed Gulls.
While observing the gull, a dark morph Rough-legged Hawk flew past over-top of me, heading N towards QC. *Independent Directions to this Site:* (as per those given on neilyworld.com): >From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take exit 129 (Greenbank & Pinecrest Roads). If travelling west, the 0.3 km offramp dumps you right or north onto Pinecrest Road. If driving east, a 0.3 km offramp brings you to Pinecrest/Greenbank Road, where you will turn left or north onto Pinecrest Road and in 0.4 km join the westbound offramp traffic. Both groups will now follow Pinecrest Road north 1.0 km from here to Carling Avenue. Turn left or west on Carling and go 2.0 km to the turnoff for the parking lot for Andrew Haydon Park on the right or north. Turn right into the lot. Cheers, Jon Ruddy _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
