Hello Ontbirders Yesterday afternoon Ben and I spent a few hours birding in Renfrew County. Our first stop was Muskrat Lake at Cobden and we observed 3 Bonaparte's Gull, 1 American Coot, 4 Green-winged Teal and 4 Common Loon. Our next stop was Lake Dore and with excellent viewing conditions, calm water, we observed 76 Horned Grebe, 7 Red-necked Grebe, 32 Common Loon, 3 Long-tailed Duck, 5 White-winged Scoter and 22 Bonaparte's Gull. A few Evening Grosbeak were heard calling as they flew overhead and a Northern Shrike was observed along Point Church Drive. Later at the Pembroke Marina there was a flock of 150+ Snow Bunting. Good birding, Bruce and Ben Directions: Lake Dore is located off Hwy 41 near Eganville/Golden Lake. Muskrat Lake is located at Cobden off Hwy 17.
