Sightings for Sunday June 5th

Baie du Febvre - 10am to 5pm- 62 species were observed. There were several highlights: Our day started with a Northern Mockingbird at Longueuil but the best bird was undoubtedly an American Bittern that walked around in the open just a few feet from us. Also 8 species of shorebirds including Baird's Sandpiper and Black-bellied Plover, 2 Bald Eagles (adult and immature) sitting in a field, and around a hundred Black Terns. A few Snow Geese are still present in the fields.
