[Ontbirds] Ottawa area: Gray Partridge, L.B.B.Gull, Harlequin Duck, Golden Eagle

[Bruce Di Labio]

Hello Ontbirders
Yesterday afternoon I observed a covey of 12 Gray Partridge along Maple 
Grove road near the Bell Sensplex. They were feeding under on the open grass 
of a few spruce trees both at the Bell Sensplex and at the Ottawa Hydro 
Building parking lot.
    Early in the afternoon observed 1 adult Lesser Black-backed Gull and 6 
adult Ring-billed Gulls off Remic Rapids. The female Harlequin Duck was 
still present Bate Island/Champlain Bridge. A mid morning visit to the 
Eardley-Masham Road off Hwy. 148 near Luskville produced 1 adult Golden 
Eagle and 6 adult Bald Eagle.
                                            good birding, Bruce
