Further to Bruce and Ben’s post — I must say I feel like an April Fool for my March 27th broadcast of doubt re: significant flooding east of Ottawa this spring. The Bear Brook and Cobb’s Lake Creek areas are now truly flooded and hosting spectacular numbers of Canada Geese as well as increasing variety of other birds. Without even venturing as far east as the Di Labios did this morning, it was not hard to find Snow Geese, Tundra Swans (at least 7 continuing @ Milton Rd.), several duck species…..and more birds yet to come. No fooling!
