[Ontbirds]Ottawa: Purple Sandpipers

[Bruce Di Labio]

Hi Everyone
    This afternoon at around 1:30pm I had a flock of 14 Purple Sandpipers at 
the end of Britannia Pier. They were still present at 2:40pm when I left.
                                            good birding, Bruce

Directions :  From Highway 417 take exit 129 (Greenbank & Pinecrest Roads). 
Go north to Carling Ave. and continue straight through onto Greenview
Avenue and follow it for 1.2km to the parking lot at Lakeside 
Gardens/Britannia Beach. Britannia Pier is adjacent the beach. The 
sandpipers were at the end of the west most rocky pier and could be viewed 
from the end of the central rocky point. Do not walk to the end of the west 
rocky pier, you may flush the sandpipers.
