This afternoon at about 4:20 PM I found an adult Glaucous Gull among a flock of about 30 Great Backed and 20 Herring Gulls at Billings Bridge in Ottawa. The birds were gathered above the bridge and were coming to roost as the sun went down. This is the same place an interesting flock of gulls roosted last December. This also the current roosting site for Ottawa¹s winter flock of 1000¹s of American Crows.
Directions: Billings Bridge carries Bank Street over the Rideau River and is accessible from Riverside Drive. If you are travelling north on Bank Street, take the first left after the bridge on Chesley Street, then left on Harvard to curl down to the river. There is lots of good parking at the end of Harvard and along Warrington. Brian Mortimer 964 Normandy Cresc.
