OFO Field Trip – Oct. 19/2019 - Dusk along the Ottawa River
10 keen birders met at 1:00pm and birded around Lac Deschenes, between Britannia and Shirley's Bay. Although the birding was relatively slow, we had beautiful calm conditions with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. We tallied a total of 41 species for the day ending after sunset with thousands of gulls and geese coming to roost on the shores of the Ottawa River. Highlights: 4 Brant 3 Cackling Geese 3 late(ish) Blue-winged Teal 2 Surf Scoter 14 adult male White-winged Scoter 1 Long-tailed Duck 1 adult Bald Eagle Good Birding!Tony Beck _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
