Today (Oct 5), at lunch time, the woodlots south-east of the Champlain bridge yielded a grey-cheeked thrush, as well as a few hermit thrushes, blue-headed vireos, a late-ish black-and-white warbler, and plenty of the more common migrant passerines one sees at this time of year. It was quite active.
This area can be accessed from the parking lot on the north side of the Ottawa River Parkway, just east of the Champlain Bridge. The river can also be conveniently checked from this lot. Paul Matthews, Ottawa
