Hello Ontbirders Despite the recent cooler temperatures and a few snow flurries, migrants are making their way back. Yesterday, April 9th I had my earliest Yellow-rumped "Myrtle" Warbler at Britannia Conservation Area/Mud Lake and today another early record of Pine Warbler was found singing along the Jack Pine Trail, off Moodie Drive, south of Bells Corners. At 11:35 a.m., Ben and I observed an immature Golden Eagle migrating north over Moodie Drive and Carling Ave. 12 Fox Sparrows were also spotted throughout the region, but no White-throated Sparrows were found. Good birding, Bruce and Ben Directions: The Britannia Conservation Area/Mud Lake area is located in Ottawa off Richmond Road and Carling Ave. Take Britannia Road north to Cassels and turn right and go east a few 100 metres and park near entrance to woods.
