It was a hot one, but we managed to get the trip in well before the skies opened up for the late afternoon rain. 11 birders, including a visitor from Trois-Rivieres, Robert Huxley, participated in a trip along the eastern shore of the Richelieu River, taking us through the communities of St. Jean, Sabrevois, Henrysburg and Noyan. Periodic cloudy periods, the occasional cooling breeze, and a welcomed rest-stop in an air-conditioned depanneur contributed to a fun day of birding with a total of 50 species. Here is our list.
