Three people showed up to share a beautiful day (not), to start off the morning at Higgins, -22 C, sunny and not much wind. Species count for both Higgins, 11, and the Récré-O-Parc, 7, were quite low. The Récré-O-Parc at Sainte-Catherine, where we met two others, was a little windy and quite chilly. There was also a mist on the water which hampered views half way out to Ile aux Hérons. We did not see any Gulls at all which we found a little strange.
