Hi Ontbirders. Today a flock of 3 dozen plus Bohemian Waxwings flew over the Old Quarry Trail. Last weekend, I saw a dozen or two there as well. Others saw a lot more. From the parking lot, take the right-most trail....the one that allows dog-walking. Go past the hydro station and follow trail until it turns left. It's about a 2 minute walk. Seveal dozen common redpolls at the Hilda Road feeders today. I saw one that may be a Hoary but those things move around so hard to be sure. But a trio of birders mentioned seeing two Hoaries there while I was watching the birds. Mornings seem better for seeing greater number of the redpolls. Thanks. W.

From Ottawa, take Carling west to Rifle Road. Turn right on Rifle Road and right t Lois.
