Ottawa/Gatineau: recent sightings to Jul 10, 2025 Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club (OFNC) Ottawa/Gatineau (50 Km radius from Parliament Hill) E. Ontario, W. Quebec Compiler: Derek Dunnett at sightings@ofnc.ca This is the final summer to participate in the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas: a once in a generation community science opportunity to share your bird observations that will help shape provincial conservation strategies and policies for years to come. Atlassing is also a great way to improve your birding skills and explore new birding locations. Though peak breeding season concludes today (Thursday 10 July) you can still add species and upgrade breeding evidence after July 10. All your observations are both valuable and welcome: even that bird you only see or hear counts as a possible breeding bird. Is it carrying food or tending young? That confirms a breeding bird. To participate, visit www.ontariobirds.org or contact Aaron Hywarren, the Ottawa Region Coordinator at Ottawa@birdsontario.org Brant (1) Jul 05, - Chaudière Island, Ottawa.
