A New Birding Area in Aylmer

 October 25, 2022


We decided to go to the foot of Vanier Road in Aylmer to look for the Razorbill from that perspective. Alas, there was not sign of it, and the fog did not help either.





We crossed the bridge going west, and hiked along the Ottawa River.







We hiked back to the bike path where we met a remarkable birder, Jean Dubois.  We conversed, first in French, then switching to English.  He told us he had been birding for 72 years and had had many exciting sightings in this very place, including Connecticut and Cerulean Warblers.  He told us of some good places to bird nearby, including a semi-open field accessed at the west end of Deschenes Street.  So we decided to check it out and map the trails.












It will be good to check it in the spring.
