My wife Melanie and I birded along the Ottawa River at Andrew Haydon Park this
afternoon. There were relatively decent numbers of shorebirds, specifically
LEAST and SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPERS, 1 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER, several
SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS, both YELLOWLEGS, and 2 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES. CASPIAN
and COMMON TERNS could be seen hunting back and forth on the Ottawa River. A
GREAT EGRET and a GREEN HERON were also present at the park.
Good birding!
Pat
