4 birders made it to the Boisé-Ste-Dorothée. Despite the bad weather forecast, the morning was quite enjoyable with mild temperatures and just a little rain. The sun even came out at about 10. The wind picked up by mid morning, especially by the river, announcing the cold front coming back tonight.
We first visited the Boisé Ste Dorothée and feeders closeby where we in partcular enjoyed a nice group of cedar wawxwings, a white-crowned sparrow (our first of the year) and the singing house finches.
We then visited the barrage du grand moulin and the Laval marina. Waterfowl was scarce except for mallards and American black ducks. An almost entirely white 'mallard' (except for the head and tail) was an intriguing find in the large group of ducks. - Frédéric Hareau
