Hi everyone Birded a number of locations in west of Ottawa today. The Red-headed Woodpeckers are back at Constance Bay "Old Burn Site" for the 8th consecutive year. This is the earliest arrival date by 2 weeks. Overall the migration has slowed down with the cooler temperature but there was still a small number of warblers including Yellow-rumped, Pine, Palm, Nashville and Yellow. There was an increase in the numbers of Field Sparrow, Brown Thrasher and Virginia Rails. Also had 2 Red Crossbills along Carling Ave. near Grandview Road. Pine Siskins are still around in good number, had 100+ at my feeder today. Saw 3 Chimney Swifts yesterday in Carp.
