16 birders came out to visit a new location for a BPQ field trip today. A fairly new park, <b>Parc des Etang-Antoine-Charlebois</b> in St-Amable. The park has only been open for a few years now. Although a little quiet today, everyone enjoyed visiting a new location that looks very promising for future outings, particular during spring migration. The site has nicely laid out trai<span class="ygrps-yiv-159755359text_exposed_show" id="yui_3_15_0_2_1538263559534_961">ls snaking through a series of ponds, surrounded by a wide variety of trees and plants. Work is being conducted on additional trails for the future. A very nice morning's walk on a great day, weather-wise. Thanks to everyone who turned out for the trip. Here is our list of 34 species for the day.</span></div>

at the defunct Motel Frontière. From Montreal take the Champlain
Bridge, Highway 10 east to exit 22, Highway 35 south to St. Jean to
join Highway 133 south to Philipsburg. Now that the motel has been
demolished the location is not easy to see from the southbound side
of the road so continue towards the border crossing. Immediately
before the border buildings take the well- marked U-turn on the left
to cross over to the northbound side of the road. Look on your right
for the large white sign telling drivers to fasten their seat belts -
the entrance to the old motel site and the parking area isimmediately
beyond it. Note that there are two gravelled entrances - do NOT take
the first, it is washed out and impassable; the second entry is
excellent. Good choice of trails from long and strenuous to short and
easy. Looking for migrating passerines, waterfowl and hawks. </span><span style="font-family: "palatino linotype", serif;"><b>Half

Sky was blue all morning and temperature was mild, making it a really enjoyable morning for birding.<br />
<br />
Northern wind and colder night made it favourable for some migration movement, and birds were active all morning. We encountered several flocks of warblers as well as thrushes, flycatchers, etc.<br />
<br />
We started by the area in the back of the water treatment plant before moving into the park. The SEPAQ open day made it even nicer as it was free to access Boucherville park today - we even got a free pass for our next visit!<br />
<br />
At the end of the morning, our day list reached 55 species including 10 species of warblers. The list is presented below.<br />
<br />
Bird of the day was the Olive-sided Flycatcher observed several times and at short distance.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all who joined making it a nice morning! - Frédéric Hareau<br />

Demi-journée. </span></span>Bird Sightings from BPQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10396595213834782875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20593019.post-3173606787174370122018-09-03T19:27:00.004-04:002018-09-03T19:27:51.525-04:00Sightings for Monday September 3te-Martine, Domaine-de-la-Pêche-au-Saumon - <b><a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/45%C2%B015'13.9%22N+73%C2%B047'59.3%22W/@45.2538535,-73.7997936,13z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d45.2538535!4d-73.7997936">map/carte</a></b><br /><b>6 Killdeer,1 Stilt Sandpiper</b> (was with the Baird's and Lesser sandpipers), <b>1 Baird's Sandpiper, 12 Least Sandpiper, 6 Spotted Sandpiper, 30 Lesser Yellowlegs</b><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">6 Pluvier kildir, 1</span></b> <span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17.8px; font-weight: 700;">Bécasseau à échasses </span><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17.8px;">(</span>L`oiseau était avec les minuscule et de Baird)</span> <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">1 </span></b><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 17.8px;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Bécasseau de Baird, 12</span><span style="font-family: segoe ui, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span></span></b><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17.8px;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Bécasseau minuscule, 6 </span></b><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17.8px;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Chevalier grivelé, </span></b><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17.8px;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">30 </span></b><b style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17.8px;">Petit chevalier - </b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 17.8px;">D</span>enise Simonl<br /><br /><a href="https://ebird.org/qc/view/checklist/S48267345">https://ebird.org/qc/view/checklist/S48267345</a><br />Bird Sightings from BPQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10396595213834782875noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20593019.post-44421806989812623922018-09-01T18:56:00.004-04:002018-09-01T18:56:53.632-04:00PQ Field Trip Report - Saturday, September 1 - Dundee, QC<div id="yui_3_15_0_2_1535842139295_968" style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, san-serif, Roboto; padding: 0px;">
16 birders were actually happy to see some overcast skies today at the <b>Lac St-Francois Reserve </b>in<b> Dundee</b>. It was already 20 degrees C. early in the morning and the humidity was rising quickly. The clouds throughout most of the morning helped to keep the scorching rays under wraps. The birds seemed a little quiet, not expending too much energy throughout the morning. Persistence paid off though as what we tho<span class="ygrps-yiv-1958254884text_exposed_show" id="yui_3_15_0_2_1535842139295_973">ught would be a short species list turned into a respectable 50 species for this time of the year. We were also very please to welcome Mustafa Kasapoglu, from Turkey, in Montreal to visit his daughter at McGill University. Thanks to Bob and Anne Tittler for giving him a lift to the field trip. Just about all the birds he saw were lifers for him. Now on to today's results.</span></div>

<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This newly protected property is approximately 1700 meters (5579 feet) long by 210 meters (689 feet) wide, located north-west of the city of Huntingdon. Montée Biggar runs north-west from Ridge Road to 4e Rang and is approximately 2.25 kilometers in length.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Montée Biggar is known as one of the most productive birding spots in south-western Quebec, with hundreds of birding enthusiasts visiting the site each year to experience the diversity of species found there. Since the beginning of 2018, 124 species of birds have been found on the site. Looking back on eBird for the last 10 years, no less than 174 species have been spotted.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Montée Biggar is perhaps best known as a significant breeding ground for the endangered Golden-winged Warbler as well as the hybrid Brewster’s Warbler. Many other interesting species have been discovered breeding here including Eastern Towhee, Indigo Bunting, Brown Thrasher, Gray Catbird, Field Sparrow, Scarlet Tanager, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Black-billed Cuckoo and numerous species of warblers.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>A special event will take place on Saturday, October 6, 2018 at 9 am.</b> Bird Protection Quebec will officially inaugurate the new Montée Biggar sanctuary. Members of the Board of Directors will give a presentation. This will be followed by a field trip along Montée Biggar. Full details of the event will be made available as the date approaches. We hope that you will join us on this special day.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Protection des oiseaux du Québec annonce sa dernière acquisition de propriété</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Protection des oiseaux du Québec, fondée en 1917, est la plus ancienne organisation caritative sans but lucratif axée sur la conservation des oiseaux au Canada.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
À l’orée de notre deuxième siècle de protection des oiseaux et de leurs habitats, Protection des oiseaux du Québec est fière et heureuse d’annoncer sa dernière acquisition, une propriété d’environ 87 acres de terres situées du côté nord-est de la montée Biggar, <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/qJDw4v4f6Nn"><b>https://goo.gl/maps/qJDw4v4f6Nn</b></a> dans la municipalité de Godmanchester, au Québec, en date du 13 août 2018.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Cette nouvelle aire protégée d’environ 1700 mètres (5579 pieds) de longueur par 210 mètres (689 pieds) de largeur se trouve plus précisément au nord-ouest de la ville de Huntingdon. Elle est bordée par la montée Biggar, qui a une longueur d’environ 2,25 km et est orientée nord-ouest à partir du chemin Ridge jusqu’au 4e Rang.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
La montée Biggar est reconnue comme l’un des meilleurs sites d’observation des oiseaux dans le sud-ouest du Québec, et chaque année des centaines d’ornithologistes amateurs s’y rendent observer la très grande diversité d’espèces qu’on y trouve. Depuis le début de 2018, 124 espèces d’oiseaux ont été observées sur le site, et d’après la base de données eBird, pas moins de 174 espèces y ont été répertoriées dans les 10 dernières années.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
La montée Biggar est peut-être mieux connue comme site de reproduction de la Paruline à ailes dorées, une espèce menacée, de même que de la Paruline de Brewster, un hybride. Plusieurs autres espèces intéressantes nichent également sur ces terres, notamment le Tohi à flancs roux, le Passerin indigo, le Moqueur roux, le Moqueur chat, le Bruant des champs, le Piranga écarlate, le Pic à ventre roux, le Coulicou à bec noir et de nombreuses espèces de parulines.</div>
<div style="display: inline; margin-top: 6px;">
<b>Un événement spécial aura lieu le samedi 6 octobre 2018, à 9 heures.</b> Protection des oiseaux du Québec procédera à l’inauguration officielle du nouveau sanctuaire de la montée Biggar. À cette occasion, des membres de notre conseil d’administration feront une présentation. Suivra une sortie sur le terrain le long de la montée Biggar. Les détails de l’événement vous seront transmis quelque temps avant la date prévue, et nous espérons que vous vous joindrez à nous en ce jour spécial.</div>

On this warm and sunny day seventeen birders joined the BPQ walk. Temperature with the humidity was well into the 30’s by the end of the day. If cicadas were birds they would have been the most numerous counted on this day. They were singing throughout most of the walk.</div>

Sadly there is no signs of advancement of work on the boardwalk across the little pond. Due to the height of the cattails and phragmites it was hard to get good views of the ponds, some ventured out onto the unstable dock remnants to get better views. </span></div>

Aug. 11<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px;">
9 birders participated in a driving trip starting out in <b>St-Lazare</b>, heading west through <b>Ste-Marthe, St-Justin de Newton,</b> across the Quebec/Ontario border and north to the Carillon Dam at <b>Pointe-Fortune,</b> QC. It was a beautiful sunny, warm day as we explored a variety of habitats. We were pleasantly surprised with a nice mix of shorebirds in an unlikely spot; a shallow pond of water in the midst of a buckwheat field on the Quebec/Ontario border near the town of St-Eugene, ON. We finished the day with an impressive species count of 64. Here is our list for the day. We haven't broken it down into specific areas that this point, but we're working on it, for e-Bird purposes. Thanks to all who participated.</div>

20 birders turned out on a hot and humid morning at Parc-nature de la Pointe-aux-Prairies, at the eastern end of Montreal island. We welcomed the overcast skies as that helped to keep the heat down...somewhat. While we all hoped for a great number of birds, there was one star celebrity bird that everyone was hoping for and it didn't disappoint. The Black-bellied Whistling Duck, one of two of these birds that turned up at this location a couple of weeks ago, was found in its usual hangout, with a group of Wood Duck on one of the waterways in the park. Everyone managed very good looks at the rare visitor. It turned out to be a fairly productive morning, even with the high humidity level. We came away with a total of 37 species. Here is our list:</div>
