[Ontbirds]Ottawa: Bohemian Waxwings, Gray Partridge

[Bruce Di Labio]

Hello Ontbirders
Spent the morning birding along the Ottawa River from Shirley's Bay to Remic 
Rapids. The highlight of the morning was 2000+ Bohemian Waxwings in flocks 
of 100-300 at various locations including Britannia Conservation Area, Bate 
Island, along the Ottawa River Parkway, Shirley's Bay and in the Arboretum 
area.  Also, noted 150+ Cedar Waxwings mixed in the flocks. There were 100's 
of Ring-billed Gulls at Deschenes Rapids along with 6 Glaucous and 1 Iceland 
Gull. Observed 2 adult Bald Eagle between Deschenes and Remic Rapids.
I made a quick stop along Maple Grove Road off Terry Fox Drive in Kanata 
south and had 8 Gray Partridge at 1655 Maple Grove Road, they were walking 
around the base of some of the spruce trees just west of the buildings. Best 
to check the area from the Sensplex parking lot to 1655 Maple Grove Road. If 
you require additional information, please email me privately.
                                                        good birding, Bruce
