Two important documents have been updated to December 31, 2024 and are now available on the OFNC website.  Thank you to Greg Zbitnew for his efforts at keeping this information current.

One is an annotated checklist of the birds in the Ottawa-Gatineau district.  This document lists all 379 species that have been seen in the area.  It includes detailed information on their status, first records, early arrivals, late departures, principal migration dates, unusual summer records and winter records.  It is a treasure trove of information.  It can be found at https://ofnc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Ottawa-Annotated-Checklist-December-2024_v5.pdf

The other is a more detailed document on the over 120 rare birds that have been seen in the district.  It can be found at https://ofnc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Annotated-List-of-Rare-Birds-2024-Update.pdf
