Hi Everyone
Spent around 2 hours birding the Ottawa River this morning, no storm birds but did have 1 Purple Sandpiper at Andrew Haydon Park, west end but unfortunately the bird was flushed and disappeared. Also observed 26 male Black Scoter, 22 male White-winged Scoter, 14 male Long-tailed Duck, and 17 Common Loon.
Good birding, Bruce

Directions: Andrew Haydon Park is located off Carling Ave. at Holly Acres Road.
