7:00 and 9:00 am, Tuesday 22 May 2007:
The weather was perfect this morning, sunny and warm. Unfortunately it was also perfect for the leaves on the trees and the birds were not singing very much,which made birding a bit more challenging. But the 19 birders who came out managed to find 40 species, although the number of each was disappointing in most cases.

Field Trip Report - Westmount Summit - May 13

Happy Mothers Day everyone. A cool morning on Westmount Summit this morning. Clear and sunny conditions provided an excellent panoramicview from the lookout for everyone to start the day. Throughout themorning various BPQ members popped in and out of the field trip,resulting in an overall total of 25 birders.

A small group of us also headed off to Mount Royal Cemetery late in the morning to wrap up the trip.The buzz word of the morning was certainly "quiet". It has been avery long time since I have been on a field trip where there were so few bird sounds in the air. Persistence did pay off though. A Black-throated Green Warbler kicked off the morning, visible below the lookout and, thanks to Chuck, everyone was able to get a great view of one of the Eastern Screech Owls taking in the morning sun in hisfavourite tree trunk. The rest of the birds really had to be searched out with the group circling the park several times throughout the morning.

The morning was complete with a total of 42 species, with a tentativebut probable 43rd species that several of us thought to have been a Yellow-throated Vireo. That would be a lifer for many in the group,but our view of it was brief. The bird was seen at the western end of the park. I personally would have preferred a much longer view ofthe bird but all the field marks seemed to fit.Other highlights included a Coopers Hawk sitting over our heads whilewe were scouring the trees for warblers! (might explain why therewere none where we were looking);

8 species of warblers; a Broad-winged Hawk, Eastern Bluebirds and a Gray Catbird, each at the cemetery; and a Pileated Woodpecker. So, here is the species list for the morning. I will indicate (MRC) beside those species seen at the cemetery.

Turkey Vulture, Northern Harrier, Cooper's Hawk, Broad-winged Hawk (MRC), Ring-billed Gull, Rock Pigeon, Mourning Dove, E. Screech Owl, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Northern Flicker, Pileated Woodpecker, Least Flycatcher (MRC), Blue-headed Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Blue Jay, American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Eastern Bluebird (MRC), Wood Thrush, American Robin, Gray Catbird (MRC), European Starling, Northern Parula, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Chipping Sparrow, Song Sparrow (MRC), White-throated Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Northern Cardinal, Rose-breasted Grosbeak (MRC), Red-winged Blackbird, Brown-headed Cowbird (MRC), American Goldfinch.

Thank you to all who turned out.

May 12th, Field Trip Report for Parc d'Oka

Yesterday's field trip to Oka Park (Saturday May 12) saw eleven birders enjoying a cool, breezy but sunny day exploring several areas of the park including the woods near the beach area and the trail to the La Grande Baiemarsh.

The woods were very quiet at times and the warblers few and far between but the good company and several interesting sightings certainly made up for the lack of numbers. Other passerine numbers also seemed very low.

Highlight of the day seen by EVERYONE was a hard-earned scarlet tanager singing high in the canopy. The group worked extremely diligently makingsure everyone finally spotted it and had a view through telescopes.

Highlight of the day seen by a SELECT FEW was a BLUE-GRAY GNATCHER near the tower at La Grande Baie. (A first in Quebec for your leader) Highlight of the day seen by a VERY SELECT FEW was a YELLOW-THROTED VIREO also at the tower. Honourable mention goes to a soaring double-crested cormorant giving us beautiful views of this interesting behavior. Our total of 69 species included:
