I had good views of the Northern Wheatear on Milton Rd. around 8am this morning. He was hanging close to the hay bales, often resting just above ground near the far bale, or foraging on ground in that area (during which he was usually not visible.) He also perched on the fences of a small enclosure in front of the bales, where an Eastern Phoebe was also foraging.
Directions: from Ottawa take 417 east to Innes and turn left onto Innes. Then right on Navan, right on Milton, and drive to 4000 Milton Rd. The Wheatear was near some grazing horses on the right side of the road.
