Highlights of the week were of both the southern and northern variety. The TUFTED TITMOUSE continues to be seen at 1676 Christina Cr. in Hallville, but seems to have no regular pattern other than its most recent visits on November 25th, 26th and 27th which occurred between 9:30 and !0:00 AM. Visitors are requested to stay on the east side of the backyard along the fence near the pines. The ROSS' GOOSE discovered in a pond on the east side of Regional Rd. #1 south of Reid's Mills on Nov. 21st was seen here again on the 22nd, and was still present with approx. 108 Snow Geese on the morning of the 26th. Other reports included 2 Cackling Geese on the Rideau River at Mooney's Bay on the 21st, a single Cackling Goose at the Ross's Goose location the same day, a very late Dunlin feeding along the frozen shoreline of the Ottawa River at the mouth of Stillwater Creek at the far west end of Andrew Haydon Park on the 27th, and the latest record ever for Ottawa of a Black-and-white Warbler in the woods at Britannia on the 28th. A 1st winter female Snowy Owl was on the south side of the rock jetty at Dick Bell Park on the 27th, likely the same bird that was reported seen on the river from Dick Bell Park on the 23rd. Since the 14th there have been 3 reports of Ring-necked Pheasants in the Ottawa area, from diverse locations: Meadowlands Dr. near Merivale Rd. and Hawthorne Rd. near the hydro line and railroad tracks in Ottawa, as well as Regional Rd. #1 just north of Reid's Mills. These likely represent escaped birds from game bird farms which are prevalent in rural areas around Ottawa. Ring-necked Pheasant is considered to have been extirpated from the Ottawa region as a breeding species since the early 1980's. Thank you - Good Birding! - End transcript
