After a little shopping at Rona, we headed south on Merivale Road to make a little afternoon birding tour. First stop was Lodge Road on the Rideau to view some ducks. A whole lot of male Common Mergansers!
We carried on to North Gower, then turned north on 4th Line. Her we saw our best view of Snow Bunting so far this season.
Then it was on to Eagleson Road, wher,e after doing the square on Brownlee and Aikens, we finally saw our first Snowy Owl of the year! Several other birders had also stopped.
We left going north on Eagleson, and had just tuned onto Fallowfield, when Jane called to say she was on the owl. What a coincidence! I don't know how we did not see her there.
Our last stop was the feeders on Steeple Hill Cres, where we saw some Doves and a close up Cardinal.
A very productive afternoon!
