Bird Protection Quebec "Field Trip report" September 1

Ile Bizzard, 7 birders had a beautiful day to look for birds, but we had to work to find the birds. One of the birds of the day was a Green heron that was about ten feet from the passerelle, that seemed to be oblivious that he was being watched. People would stop and watch and he actively caught small minnows. Although he seemed to enjoy catching and eatting dragonflies and was quite good at it. While we were watching he did not miss any that he tried for.

Here is our list for the day: Canada Goose, Wood duck, Mallard, Black duck, Pied-billed grebe, Double-crested cormorants, Great blue heron, Green heron, Turkey vulture, Sharp-shinned hawk, Red-shouldered hawk, Red-tailed hawk, American kestrel, Merlin, Virginia rale, Common gallinule (moorhen), Ring-billed gull, Mourning dove, Ruby-throated hummingbird, Belted kingfisher, Yellow-bellied sapsucker, Downy woodpecker, Hairy woodpecker, Northern flicker, Pileated woodpecker, Eastern wood pewee, Great-crested flycatcher,Red-eyed vireos, Blue jay, American crow, Black-capped chickadee, Red-breasted nuthatch, White-breasted nuthatch, Brown creeper, Marsh wren, American robin, Gray catbird, European starling, Magnolia warbler, Yellow-rumped warbler, Black-throated green warbler, Palm warbler, Blackpoll warbler, American redstart, Common yellowthroat, Wilson's warbler, Song sparrow, Swamp sparrow, Northern cardinal, Ros-breasted grosbeak, Indigo bunting, American goldfinch
