St-Clet: There are still two Snowy Owls (Harfang des neiges) around St-Clet, they are always a bit distant though and usually visible off Ste-Julie or Ste-Marie. Not much else in the fields but a Northern Gray Shrike (Pie-grièche grise) was giving a House Sparrow (Moineau domestique) a hard time near the Pinade at St-Lazare. - Mark Dennis
