We heard and then saw the Carolina Wren previously reported by others in Britannia Woods this afternoon. Thanks to Gillian Mastromatteo for an accurate description of the area where she found it recently. We also saw a large Cooper's Hawk (likely a female) at the east end of the ridge in a spruce tree. It flew rapidly back towards Mud Lake.
A photo of the Carolina Wren is posted at https://sites.google.com/a/ontariobird.com/ontario-birds/Home/recent-photos Beth and Don Wigle Ottawa Directions: The Carolina Wren was near the trail on the west side of Britannia Woods close to the fence line and behind a light green house about 300 metres south of the gate at the end of Rowatt Street.
