A Western Grebe was first observed this morning upstream of Deschenes Rapids, viewable from west end of Cassels Rd in Britannia Village but better from Quebec side of river above the Rapids. For Cassels, take Pinecrest exit from 417, then follow these directions from Neilyworld bird-pages:
DESCHÊNES RAPIDS - ONTARIO >From Highway 417 (The Queensway) take exit 129 (Greenbank & Pinecrest Roads). >If travelling west, the 0.3 km offramp dumps you right or north onto Pinecrest >Road. If driving east, a 0.3 km offramp brings you to Pinecrest/Greenbank >Road, where you will turn left or north onto Pinecrest Road and in 0.4 km join >the westbound offramp traffic. Both groups will now follow Pinecrest Road >north 0.8 km from here to Richmond Road. Turn right or northeast onto Richmond >and go 0.5 km, crossing Carling Avenue, to Poulin Avenue. Turn left or north >onto Poulin and go 0.6 km to where a right only turn puts you on Howe Street. >Follow Howe west 0.2 km to Britannia Road. Turn right or north onto Britannia >Road and proceed 0.8 km to Cassels Street. The Britannia Yacht Club is >directly in front of you.
