Ottawa - Winter visitor, along with hundreds of others soon to depart for the northwest to breed. The birds only showed up in numbers in recent days with two areas having several thousand. This one has flown down to the water for a quick drink after eating buckthorn berries.

Lovely.
I haven’t seen one in years.
We haven’t had any locally for a few years so the large number drew my attention to the Ottawa area. Most will likely be gone in a few days.
