Thanks to some Quebec birders I saw the Razorbill today at 12 noon from the
Quebec side of the Ottawa River. The bird was visible from a viewpoint accessed
by a trail from a small parking lot for the Voyageurs pathway, along Boulevard
de Lucerne (or Lower Aylmer Road). This parking lot is the first pulloff east
of Chemin Vanier. The bird was distant and appeared to be on the Ontario side
of the river, about halfway between the Kitchissippi and Deschenes Rapids
Lookouts.
Deschenes Lookout is located at the western end of the Ottawa River Parkway and
Kitchissippi Lookout is the next accessible viewpoint to the east. For the
Quebec location take the Champlain Bridge north and turn west on Boulevard de
Lucerne.
