Gull numbers, and emergent insects are building up at the Deschennes rapids in
Ottawa-Gatineau. This evening about ten observers were able to watch 4+ Arctic
Terns, including one at close range, 2 2nd summer Franklin's Gull and three
Red-necked Phalarope, among many Bonaparte's Gull and Ring-billed Gull. Thanks
to Mark Patry for getting the word out on the Franklin's.
Currently, the rapids can best be viewed from the east end of Cassels Road.
