Hi, I sent this to the wrong address the first time but Mike Burrell set me straight. Thanks! Bernie Here are the details: May 23, 2022 (Monday), Ottawa Spring Migrants Leader: Bernie Ladouceur For this half-day trip, we explored the Lac Deschênes IBA. There were just nine participants on this trip that took place on the second day after a very violent storm had passed thorough the region; over 100,000 hydro customers were still without power as the day began. We started in the Britannia Conservation Area (Mud Lake), which revealed 56 species in a couple of hours. Highlights included 13 species of warbler, including good views of Blackburnian, Blackpoll, and Cape May Warblers, Northern Parula, and a heard-only (but persistently singing) Canada Warbler. Other migrants were sparse but included Swainson’s Thrush, Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, and calling Least and Willow Flycatchers. Next, we headed to Dunrobin in search of Golden-winged Warbler. We stopped at the hydro cut on the Thomas Dolan Parkway at the northern edge of the Carp Hills. No luck with the Golden-winged Warbler but our list included Wild Turkey, a flyover Black Tern, a pair of Red-shoulders Hawks, American Kestrel, Alder Flycatchers, Veery, Field Sparrow, and Bobolinks. We then drove northward back across Dunrobin Road (and back into the IBA) and made our last stop where the Thomas Dolan Parkway and Constance Creek intersect. Highlights included nesting Ospreys, five Common Terns, a Wilson’s Snipe, and two calling Least Bitterns. Now that’s a nice finish! In all, we tallied 79 species, and the weather was perfect. Thanks to all who participated. Bernie Ladouceur
