BIRDWATCH: Purple Martins decline linked to habitat destruction

Article content When I first moved to Renfrew County back in the late 1970s, there were many Purple Martin colonies in the area, the largest being on Mountainview Road. However, since then, the Martin population has seriously declined, and I am not aware of any existing colonies now in our area. In fact, it is almost a bird watching highlight to spot a Martin in the County. There are many factors for this decline, but the primary ones are the loss of summer habitat in South America and the fierce competition from House Sparrows and Starlings for nesting sites. We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

BIRDWATCH: Scarce Ruddy Duck drops in for a visit on Lake Dore

Article content Back on April 14, Mark Gawn of Ottawa located a scarce Ruddy Duck on Lake Dore. This western duck occasionally passes through our area during the spring and fall migrations but is normally seen only by one or two birders before it flies off. This time, the bird remained in the area and many local birders got to observe this bird and add it to their lists. This bird has been seen a few times over the years in our area; the last time was in 2020 seen by Christian Renault. The Ruddy Duck (Oxyura jamaiccuis) is a small duck of only 14-16 inches. It is a diving duck that likes to frequent freshwater lakes and ponds during the summer and salty bays in the winter.
