October 6, 2003 We have an alert on a Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow. Observed by Bruce Di Labio at 10:45 on the shore just west of Britannia Pier at Lakeside Gardens. http://home.achilles.net/ofnc/britanniabirding.html#lakeside To reach this site, from the BCA, take Britannia Road in Ottawa south and turn right (west) onto Carling. The first street you will encounter is Greenview Avenue. Turning right (north) on Greenview will lead to a large parking lot with public facilities.
