in hopes of spotting and identifying some of the hundreds of species of birds that make pit stops in the Ottawa area during the fall migration.
A seagull flies over the Rideau River, as seen from the Adàwe Crossing bridge where Bird Friendly Ottawa hosted a bird walk, one of the events marking World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday.One little bird she was thrilled to see in her backyard this week was a hermit thrush. Although it doesn’t have as long a migration as a shorebird, it faces similar threats.
“You could easily think there are not many birds in Ottawa during the year but with migration, you can see 250 species of birds here,” Dunnett said. “They don’t breed here. They breed in the Arctic and other places, but days like today highlight for people that we’re all part of this big interconnected web that’s all across the continent.”
