The links below are to the Past Years' Birding Ottawa Winter Specialty Status Reports.

Many of the northern birds that grace our area in winter are not rare enough to warrant inclusion on the Rare Bird Alert page. Yet they are often sought by visiting birders from more southerly climes (such as New England, Toronto or Kingston), and even by locals, especially those new to the area or to birding. Thus the Birding Ottawa Winter Specialty Status page. It will act as an adjunct to the RBA page and the Where and When to See Guide. Information regarding the current winter's status of these species, along with a few uncommon to rare residents and the odd western visitor, will be provided. Check previous Winter Specialty Status pages to search for trends. If the location has its own page, you can access more details and directions by clicking its link.
