Hello Ontbirders, My Dad and I were out for a couple of hours this afternoon. We had some good birds at Andrew Haydon Park in Ottawa. There were about 2500 Herring Gulls roosting on the river at 3pm. Amongst them was a first winter Thayer's Gull, a first winter Iceland Gull and an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. Also a pleasant surprise was a late Blackpoll Warbler at Dick Bell Park - in the last pine tree before the 'lighthouse'.
