The Pink Road feeders, situated on a one-acre lot near Aylmer, number close 
to 50! These feeders are the most popular with area birders. They were started 
by the OFNC 15 years ago, and are now operated in partnership with “Le Club 
des Ornithologues de l’Outaouais,” which has erected a sign advertising these 
feeders. The Outaouais club also maintains a parking lot for visitors. These 
feeders provide an ideal place to see numerous winter species, including the 
occasional hawk or owl attracted by the smaller birds that congregate there. 
The other OFNC feeder is situated on National Research Council land south 
of Montreal Road near the Bathgate Drive entrance. (The feeder is now back 
to where it was located two years ago.) A recent addition to the list of Ottawa 
area feeders, it attracts and benefits from bird traffic coming from its mostly 
residential surroundings. 
Two other area feeders are operated by the Club with assistance from the 
NCC. The Mer Bleue feeder in Gloucester is on Dolman Ridge Road off 
Anderson Road, north of the Dewberry Trail parking lot. The other is in 
Nepean, situated beside the Stony Swamp Interpretation Centre between 
Moodie Drive and Richmond Road. 
Maintaining the feeding stations involves more than just filling them with seed. 
Most were built and are repaired by OFNC volunteers, and I would like to 
thank them all for their work over the years. For more information on Club 
feeders, you can contact Daniel Perrier at 746-6717.
