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
