A flock of Bohemian Waxwings was by the Ottawa river south-east of Champlain Bridge today at lunch time. The group was spread out and numbers were very hard to estimate, but I'll guess 25-30. They were on the north side (occasionally) of the Ottawa River Parkway, in trees on the wide median, and especially on the south side. This was just east of the parking lot on the south-east side of the Champlain Bridge. The birds were apparently both feeding on berries and hawking insects, often low. One landed a few feet away from me on the ground.
