A flock of Bohemian Waxwings was by the Ottawa river south-east of
Champlain Bridge today at lunch time. The group was spread out and
numbers were very hard to estimate, but I'll guess 25-30. They were on
the north side (occasionally) of the Ottawa River Parkway, in trees on
the wide median, and especially on the south side. This was just east of
the parking lot on the south-east side of the Champlain Bridge. The
birds were apparently both feeding on berries and hawking insects, often
low. One landed a few feet away from me on the ground.
