Clémence and I have been drafted to take over for Felix for this morning's field trip to Parc-nature du Bois-de-l’Île-Bizard. 13 brave birders met on this very cloudy cool and windy morning 0c at the start and 6c at the end, but it felt more like -10c. We started in the parking area and the chalet and progressed to the marsh. We finally managed to find 33 species.
