OFO Dusk Birding along the Ottawa River – Oct 21/2017 Yesterday, 12 keen birders participated in a delightful afternoon of fall birding along the shoresof Lac Deschenes in Nepean. With unseasonably warm temperatures and relatively calmconditions, we ended with a total of 40 species. Some of the highlights included 3 Great Egrets,two Red-necked Grebes, 4 Cackling Geese, three Surf Scoter, one Long-tailed Duck, a lateOsprey, plus small numbers of Brant and White-winged Scoter. Songbird numbers were low, aswere the expected flocks of waterfowl and gulls at dusk. Regardless, the afternoon wasextremely pleasant and wildly entertaining.
