Hello Ontbirds people,
Today (Aug. 10) only one juv. Black-legged Kittiwake was seen by myself &
many other observers at the large quarry pond on Moodie Dr. south of
Cambrian/Trail Rd.
This is the 6th consecutive day for this species at one location in
Ottawa...an unprecedented event (in the past, kittiwakes have not lingered
beyond 1 day), and the 1st August record for our area!
Directions to this site (courtesy of Larry Neily):
From Highway 416 take exit 66 (Fallowfield Road). If southbound, a 0.4
km off ramp dumps onto Fallowfield, where you will turn right or west. If
northbound, the 0.4 km off ramp brings you to Fallowfield, where you will
turn left or west onto it and in 0.5 km join the southbound off ramp
traffic. Both groups will now follow Fallowfield Road west for an
additional 0.4 km to reach Moodie Drive. Turn left or southeast onto Moodie
Drive and go 5.3 km, passing Cambrian Road to reach the quarries (second
gate on the left). Park along the side of the road without blocking the
access.
Please respect that this is an active quarry operation. The birds can be
seen from the gate.
