OK, one more outing before we go on vacation 🙂 This will be another relaxing summer day exploring habitats west of the city. We should encounter much activity, especially young birds in various stages of development. Although late in the season, we’ll check meadows and marshes for Sedge Wren, one of our main targets today. We’ll also look & listen for Cuckoos. In the grasslands, we should find Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark, and hopefully, Upland Sandpiper. Eastern Bluebirds are relatively regular in rural settings around Ottawa, so we should encounter a few. Blackbirds, sparrows, and swallows will be fairly common throughout our morning. We also hope to find a few raptors. This is a wonderful time of year, and wildlife thrives outside the city. Registration is to [email protected]
