Seven hardy birders gathered for the evening excursion – Dusk Birding Along the Ottawa River. Unfortunately, the river seemed rather unproductive compared to previous years. Sadly, the large flocks of geese coming to roost never materialized until after it became dark. Regardless, we all had a great time with comfortable weather and wonderful comradery. We also had a few highlights among the modest total of 36 species including White-winged Scoter, Surf Scoter, Fox Sparrow and a late Spotted Sandpiper. A very special thank you to Derek Dunnett for compiling the bird list. Cheers Tony Beck
