Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club (OFNC) Ottawa/Gatineau (50 Km radius from Parliament Hill) E. Ontario, W. Quebec Compiler: Derek Dunnett at sightings@ofnc.ca Some snow and falling temperatures in the next week should drive more birds to feeders, improving the view for some birders stuck at home during lockdown. Barrow's Goldeneye - Hurdman Bridge, Ottawa. Wood Duck - Sentier du Ruisseau-de-la-Brasserie, Gatineau, and Billings Bridge, Ottawa. Long-tailed Duck - Rapides Deschênes. Red-breasted Merganser - Remic Rapids Park, Ottawa. Gray Partridge - Continue on Hazeldean. If you are wondering why these birds go unreported for months, try spending a cold hour not finding these bright orange birds. Wait until the lockdown is over though. Explaining to by-law that you are there to not see a bird would be awkward. A flock was also reported from Huisman Road, Ottawa. Northern Harrier - Terry Fox at Fernbank, Ramsayville Road, and Mer Bleue Road, all Ottawa. Belted Kingfisher- Continues near the Chapman Mills Conservation Area, and another reported from Stony Swamp (Chipmunk Trail), Ottawa. Red-bellied Woodpecker - Reports continue from Relais Shilly-Shallly, Parc de la Gatineau, Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, as well as Britannia Conservation Area, at the Hilda Road Feeders, and in Kanata Lakes, Ottawa. Continues in Parc du Lac-Leamy, and on Rue de Saint-Milo, Gatineau. Red-headed Woodpecker - Continues in Constance Bay, Ottawa. New reports from Chemin Link, Chelsea, Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais. Northern Flicker - Photographed at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden, Ottawa. Another on Shirley Avenue. Canada Jay - Continues (outside the circle) on Levant Mill Road, Lanark. Boreal Chickadee - Fernbank, Ottawa. Tufted Titmouse - Kars, Ottawa. Carolina Wren - du Bois Avenue, as well as Shirley's Brook Park, Kanata, Ottawa. Eastern Bluebird - Pinhey's Point Park, Ottawa. Hermit Thrush - Sentier des Pionniers, Parc de la Gatineau, and along the Sentier des Voyageurs, between Parc Brébeuf and Pont Champlain, Gatineau. Eastern Towhee - Fine Estate, Ottawa.
