Montréal: I was at Mount Royal Cemetery this morning, with Herb Greenslade. Bird activity was good, with Song Sparrows, Robins and Juncos present in good numbers. Interesting sightings included a flock of Evening Grosbeaks flying overhead and an early Chipping Sparrow. The nesting Cooper's Hawks were very active and we were able to observe mating. A pair of Red-shouldered Hawks was also seen briefly in the same area.

St-Bruno: Like last year, the American woodcocks (bécasses d'Amérique) have returned to the fields behind and beside the Brault & Martineau parking at Promenades St-Bruno. They are also in the field behind the nearby Toyota dealership.
One can hear the 'peent' as well as the winnowing sounds of their activities. - Denise Donelle
