While I’ve had a great time at Mud Lake this year, but I decided to try a few areas, I’d wanted to bird but never had.
One of those areas was Leitrim, Bowsville and High Roads, an area that has most of the species of sparrows that can be found in Ottawa.
It area didn’t disappoint, I had lovely views of:
GRASSHOPPER SPARROW – OTTAWA BIRD #241
FIELD SPARROW
SAVANNAH SPARROW SINGING ITS HEART OUT
SONG SPARROW
BROWN THRASHER
ALDER FLYCATCHER
AMERICAN GOLDFINCH
EASTERN BLUEBIRD
COMMON YELLOWTHROAT
The biggest surprise came when a Mourning Warbler made and appearance…total surprise.
MOURNING WARBLER
Was a great time, with lots of birds heard and seen.
Thanks to Mike Cummings for showing me this spot.
Ciao for now…
