Montréal, île de la Visitation: I went for a evening walk to see what was around. Scarlet Tanager, Veery, Swainson's Thrush, Nashville warbler, Northren Parula, Yellow warbler, Magnolia warbler, American redstart (Tangara écarlate, grive fauve, Grive à dos olive, paruline à Paruline à joues grise, Paruline à collier, Paruline à tête cendrée, paruline flamboyante). Then the nice surprise, a adult White-eyed Vireo (Ensuite, la belle surprise, un adulte Viréo aux yeux blancs) only a few feet from me. I observed him and his friends near the Bistro des Moulin. I hope he decides to stay a couple more days, it's the first record of this species in this park. - Joël Coutu
