BPQ field trip report, Saturday September 10

This morning's BPQ field trip was at l'île de la Visitation (Nature Park) and our fall warblers were active from the start.

50 species of birds were seen this morning (#50 was a Turkey Vulture soaring over the chalet when everyone was leaving).

A pair of Ospreys, Wood Ducks, a ''wise looking'' Black-crowned night Heron, Hummingbirds, Kingfisher, Brown Creeper. 4 species of Vireos like Philadelphia & Blue-headed Vireo.

And the little 'stars' of the morning a total of 11 species of warbler species like, Cape May, Tennessee, Northern Parula, Magnolia, Blackburnian, Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Green, Black-throated Blue, Blackpoll, Bay-breasted, Yellowthroat.

Thank you for all who came this morning. I hope you all enjoyed the morning and had fun with our fall warblers.

I still have a couple more BPQ Wednesday morning Fall warbler walks for those interested. Joel Coutu
