The OFNC Club walk had a juvenile Franklin's Gull hanging out on the rocks
looking west from
Bate Island. This bird was in the same place yesterday.
Instructions: Bate Island is on the Champlain Bridge crossing in Ottawa to
Quebec by way of Island Park Drive at the OTTAWA RIVER PARKWAY. From
Highway 417, exit at Parkdale Ave (exit #122) and turn north onto Parkdale.
Proceed past the intersection with Scott Street. Further north along
Parkdale Ave, take the west ramp onto the Ottawa River Parkway. Turn right
at lights onto CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE & BATE ISLAND which is approximately
halfway between Ontario & Quebec. There is public parking on the island .
