All,

Below his my ebird report for Ottawa NWR south woods and trailhead parking area.  This is by far the best spring migration birding day of the season.  22 Warbler species mostly found on the east side and south side trails.  This is the wave we were waiting for.  Winds were keeping most of the birds down for great views.  We saw very few people, so social distancing was not an issue.

Good birding
