Ottawa River
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Marsh has had changes over past couple of years. The spit of land between the marsh and the mouth of the Mississippi is now devoid of trees as they were cut down. Leaves marsh more open to flooding and wind. Large commercial dock and launch built just outside of marsh although not used much.

River is usually low here at this time as they open the dam to help the water escape from above ( it's very narrow where the train bridge crosses below Arnprior) Now; the river level is higher than normal and the water is flowing fast. Cormorants and seagulls are common sights as are Canada Geese (with babies). A beaver was on the shore a few weeks ago.
