Verdun, Île des Soeurs: I spent 1.5 hrs on the southern tip this afternoon. More than a hundred Common Goldeneye and many Common Mergansers were present. Among these birds, I spotted the Harlequin duck.a handsome adult male, a Barrow's goldeneye (M) and a hybrid male Barrow's Goldeneye X Common Goldeneye. On northern tip of 'île aux Hérons, I could see two adult Bald Eagles perched in the same tree.
The Harlequin Duck was seen from the observation platform in the direction of the steeple of the church of La Prairie. It was far, but visible at 30X telescope.
J'ai passé 1h30 à la pointe sud cet après-midi. Plus d'une centaine de Garrots à œil d'or et plusieurs Grands Harles étaient présents. Parmi ces oiseaux, j'ai repéré l'Arlequin plongeur, un beau mâle adulte, un Garrot d'Islande mâle et un hybride Garrot d'Islande X Garrot à œil d'or. Sur la pointe nord de l'île aux Hérons, je pouvais voir les 2 Pygargues à tête blanche adultes perchés dans le même arbre.
L'Arlequin plongeur a été aperçu à partir de la plateforme d'observation en direction du clocher de l'église de La Prairie. Il était assez loin, mais visible au télescope 30X. - Pierre Bannon

We drove around Ste-Marthe and St-Clet on Sunday afternoon and we found the flock of between 20-30 Lapland Longspurs (Plectrophane lapon (Bruant lapon) that seem to still be frequenting a feeder near the corner of chemin Ste-Julie and Mtee Ste-Julie. We also found a huge flock of at least 100 Snow Buntings (Plectrophane des neiges (Bruants des neiges) on Citee des Jeunes nearby - Ryan Young

St-Lazare: There was a group of 10+ Pine Grosbeaks (Durbec des sapins) in the Pinède this morning. They were feeding on spruce buds or regrowths. They were singing quietly all the time they were there. - Diane Demers
