We went to check on the Purple Martins at the Nepean Sailing Club and were dismayed to find that there were none. We then drove to Grandview Road to look for Brant - nope! So we parked near the end of Hastings Street and went for a hike on Greenbelt Trail 10.
Barbara spotted a Gray Catbird at the start of the trail, but it was a real skulker. We saw nothing more until we came to the ponds where Barbara got a shot of a reluctant Common Yellowhroat and a preening Black-capped Chickadee.
Bill went exploring on an unofficial trail that leads to Barry Mullen Park. He heard a Great Crested Flycatcher, so he collected Barbara and they explored the trail over to the park.
Returning on the main trail, we saw a Northern Flicker ahead on the ground.
We both enjoyed exploring a new-to-us unofficial trail which had lots of birds potential.
