OFNC Sparrow Walk with Gord & Ann Belyea

May 22, 2013 8:00 am

Once again we are out behind the Ottawa Airport. Another dull day with rain threatening.  A large thunderstorm passed just east of us and we missed the expected dump of rain.  There was a large group out, as usual.  Familiar faces were Rick and Brenda.  Ken Ball and Victor Rabinovitch identified themselves to me and talked about my blog.

Gord was assisted today by Roy John.  We missed Vesper Sparrow again, but got a glimpse of a Mourning Warbler.
