Strathcona Park

November 24, 2018

We dropped off MJ at the Westin to meet her friend and headed down to Strathcona Park on the Rideau River.  We were expecting it to be cold, but it was actually rather nice.

We saw lots of Common Goldeneye and Mallards at the foot bridge and below.





We headed upstream towards Hurdsman Bridge and soon spotted a Barrow's Goldeneye among the Commons and a few gulls.





We crossed over the former train bridge and saw both male and female Common Mergansers.





We returned on the other side of the river getting more views of the Barrow's.  We also saw a Hairy Woodpecker.





At the pedestrian bridge, we saw a female Common Goldeneye up close and also an American Black Duck.
