The total species reported by the more than 230 registrants for this three-day weekend event (September 26-28) at Ottawa was 152. All but one of the species (Caspian Tern on the Kingston field trip) were observed in the Ottawa region. The previous OFO Convention at Ottawa in 2006 tallied 138 species during two days of field trips. Highlights for many attendees were Greater White-fronted Goose, Ross's Goose and Cackling Goose. This year's impressive species total would have been even larger if the high water levels reportedly not seen at this time of year since 1973 had not resulted in much reduced shorebird numbers. Participants enjoyed beautiful fall weather all weekend. Twenty-nine field trips were conducted by 38 leaders during the three days. We thank the trip leaders and the many others who put so much effort into making this a very memorable convention. The complete species list for this year's convention will be posted on the OFO website (www.ofo.ca). Hope to see you at the next OFO convention at Point Pelee on 2-4 October 2015. Good birding.
