We had a few good looks at the Yellow-Headed Blackbird in Kanata Lakes this afternoon. It was initially seen on the old golf course adjacent Windeyer Crescent, near tee 9, in a small swampy area. It was later foraging below someone's feeder along with grackles. Some of the back yard feeders are viewable from the golf course.
Directions (copied from Bruce Di Labio): From Ottawa take Hwy.417 west to Castlefrank/Kanata exit and turn right. Follow Kanata Ave. to Knudson and turn right. Watch for Shaughnessy on your right.
