Hi all.
The Redhead, reported by Peter Hall earlier to-day, March 29, was still
present on the Rideau River, at the base of Centennial Boulevard, in the
early evening. Also seen from the base of Centennial, along the other shore
of the river, a Pied-billed Grebe, a pair of Wood Ducks and 3 Hooded
Mergensers.
Yesterday afternoon, on the frozen pond on Moodie Dr., South of Trail Rd,
there was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and a possible immature Thayer's
Gull. At the Trail Rd landfill, among the thousands of gulls, there were
still at least 2 Glaucous and one Iceland.
Good birding.
Langis Sirois, Ottawa
