I'm in Arnprior (near Ottawa) with Mira for the weekend to visit her family.
The house happens to be right on the Ottawa river so I often find myself looking out over the water hoping for a Scoter or Red-throated Loon to fly-by. No such luck yet!
The beautiful fall colours keep things fun though:
Yesterday we checked out Constance Bay (recently known for the large numbers of Nelson's Sparrows).
Blue-winged Teals were hanging out with the Canada Geese - I love seeing these guys :)
And a few juvenile Black-bellied Plovers were acting uncharacteristically tame by walking out right in front of me:
Pretty cool to see them running around in all the leaves:
Happy Thanksgiving!
