Shorebirds and Wetlands – Ottawa West with Always an Adventure

Tuesday Sep 23

Today there is Roger, Judith, Gary, Sue, Tony, Nina and me.  We birded at Ottawa Beach, then walked over to Andrew Haydon Park West.  Our next stop was Shirley's Bay.  But we did not go out on the dyke; instead we hiked the other way along the beach and looped back by the road.  We proceeded to Britannia Point and then moved to Mud Lake and the ridge.
