[Ontbirds]Ottawa - Gray Partridge

[Michael Jaques]

After many attempts this winter,  at 10.30 am we finally saw two of the Gray 
Partridge reported previously by Bruce Di Labio at 1655 Maple Grove Road in 
Kanata.  They were at the east end of the garage building on a bare patch of 
grass beneath a birch tree.  To see them we had to drive in the driveway in 
front of the buildings.  On a weekday this would be more difficult due to 
the city trucks using the garages.


Directions:  Take Hwy. 417 west from Ottawa to Terry Fox Drive exit #140. 
Turn left(south) and follow to Maple Grove Road. Turn right and go past the 
Bell Sensplex (where they have been seen in the past).  The City Depot is at 
1655 Maple Grove Road.
