It was quite tame. Single tame Brant or small groups of them have become a fairly familiar occurrence in park-like areas along the Ottawa river in fall, but to my knowledge this is much more unusual in spring. By the way, there was a large flock of what also appeared to be brant flying north-west over the Ottawa River. There were at least 200 birds. Unfortunately they were too distant for me to want to stake my life on the id. Directions: Remic Rapids parking area is accessible from the Ottawa River Parkway, a kilometre or so east of Champlain Bridge.
