Good afternoon Ontbirders, 17 of us went on the Ottawa OFO outing today. We started at 07:30 at Mud Lake and most later went on to Shirley's Bay. A few of us continued to Constance Bay to finish off the day. We had a great groups with lots of sharp eyes and in the end we saw 103 species. Highlights were 11 species of shorebirds (best were Sanderlings in 2 locations) and 19 species of warblers. Thanks to all of the participants for a fun day!
