Bird Protection Quebec "Field Trip Report" September 21

With this morning's risk of rain, only a handful of birders (8) appeared for this field trip at l'Île de la Visitation -e-bird

With a short delay (8am) we still managed to have a field trip. The conditions were perfect, with some sunshine after drops of rain and southern winds and active insects, the group with treated with a few 'Warbler Attacks'!
