We started the day at Shirley's Bay where we observed a Bald
Eagle sitting high on its well-known nest (far in the distance on the National
Defense grounds), incubating or covering young; and we took note of the 2
occupied Osprey nests in the area.
We checked 12 Raven possible nesting sites in Kanata, South
of Kanata, Barrhaven and Nepean and documented 9 active sites including 7
nests with young, one with 6 young.
Our last stop was at the CRA Data Centre on Heron Rd, where
the skills and persistence of Peter, Barbara and Bill permitted us to finally
see the female Peregrine Falcon on her new nesting site on the East side of the
building and the male make a fly around.
Although nesting birds were our priority, we also noted
about 30 other species, including a couple of Ruddy Ducks during a mid-day stop at
a Moodie Dr. pond.
