Hudson Christmas Bird Count

The Hudson Christmas Bird Count will take place on Sunday, January 2nd. Seventeen routes are covered in all ranging from Valleyfield in the south to across the Ottawa River in Oka to the north, while to the west folks count up Rigaud Mountain and to the east as far as Île Perrot.

There are many different habitats to be explored and always a good variety of species. A highlight for many of us who participated in last yearʼs Hudson CBC was spotting the red morph Eastern Screech-owl, seen in the Driscoll-Naylor Sanctuary. This sanctuary is owned by BPQ and is situated in the centre of Hudson.

If you can help on the count please call Alison Bentley at 1-866-438-4096 (Camp Tamaracouta) or on some weekends at home at 450-458-8076. She can also be reached by e-mail at alison.bentley@sympatico.ca
