Hello Ontbirders
Today, October 6th at 10:15am I observed a Nelson's Sharp-tailed
Sparrow about 100 metres west of the Britannia Pier in the shoreline
vegetation along the Ottawa River. The sparrow was very secretive but
sat up briefly when I pished. A small number of Swamp Sparrows were also
noted. Rubber boots are recommended.
good birding

Directions:: From downtown Ottawa take Highway 417 west to exit 129
(Greenbank & Pinecrest Roads). Go north on Pinecrest to Carling
Avenue. Continue straight through onto Greenview Avenue (the
continuation of Pinecrest to the north) and follow it for 1.2 km to the
parking lot at Britannia Beach. Britannia Pier is adjacent the beach.
The sparrow was on the west side of the pier.
