Quebec Compiler: Derek Dunnett at sightings@ofnc.ca Greater Scaup - One bird reported at various locations in Val des monts, Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais. Barrow's Goldeneye - Continues between Hurdman Bridge and Adawe Crossing Bridge, Ottawa. Wood Duck - Billings Bridge, Ottawa. Long-tailed Duck - Rapides Deschênes. Gray Partridge - Flocks continue on Magladry Road (Navan), and off Hazeldean, Ottawa, and perhaps a new flock was photographed this week as well, on private land. Months with no sightings of these non-migratory birds, and now three flocks. Belted Kingfisher - A female still catching fish in an open pond in Kanata lakes, another along March Valley Road, Ottawa, one at Chemin Latulippe, Chénéville, Papineau, and a fourth in Gatineau Park, Chelsea, Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais. These birds are tough! Red-bellied Woodpecker - Britannia Conservation Area, the Hilda Road Feeders, near the Chapman Mills Conservation Area, and in Kanata Lakes, Ottawa. Parc du Lac-Leamy, and a new one on Chemin Fer-à-Cheval, Gatineau. Canada Jay - Continues on Lavant, Lanark, just tantalizingly outside the circle. Boreal Chickadee - Fernbank, Ottawa. Carolina Wren - Continuing at Merivale Gardens, du Bois Avenue, and Britannia Conservation Area. And yet another previously unreported Carolina Wren has been coming to a feeder on Island Park Drive for weeks. Eastern Bluebird - Continuing on Sentier des Voyageurs, between Parc Brébeuf and Pont Champlain, Gatineau, and on Quigley Hill Road, Ottawa. All the winter finches have been reported in various locations across the OFNC circle in the first 4 days of February, (except the ever so difficult Purple Finch). Eastern Towhee - Fine Estate, Ottawa. Lark Sparrow - After years with no sightings, the third Lark Sparrow of 2020 showed up on Dec. 30 near Ashton on private land, and stayed well into January.

Red-winged Blackbird- The Cardinal Creek Karst Trail, Ottawa, male continues to defy winter and common sense. Special note about Shirley's Bay.
