Montréal: I visited the eastern part of Mount Royal Park this morning (7-11am) with Michael Elliott and Prayitno Goenarto. Most of the migrants that were seen during the week seem to have moved on. 2 pairs of Indigo Buntings were seen near the belvedere- the males were singing incessantly, seemingly oblivious to the loud tourists above them.The Blue-gray Gnatcatcher was still present in this area, but there was no sign of the Yellow-throated Vireo.Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Swainson's Thrush were all seen very well today. 51 species were observed in total.

Châteauguay, Refuge Faunique Marguerite-D’Youville - Ile Saint-Bernard:

This morning on my return walk at Ile St-Bernard, I came across an Orchard oriole (male first summer with its greenish color and black-throat) in the first wooded area to the right from the entrance . The bird is then moved into the orchard. When I left, he was still singing in the area of ​​orchard.

In addition, I listed six species of warblers which are always appreciated. Canada Warblers, Bay-breasted and Blackburnian. The Yellow warbler dominates in number followed by the American redstart and Yellow rumped warblers. Next were Blackpoll warblers, Common yellowthroat and Tennessee. The Swainson's Thrushes were also present in large numbers. 66 species were recorded on the sheet for this pleasant morning.


Ce matin au retour de ma promenade sur l'Ile St-Bernard, j'ai pu croiser un Oriole des vergers (mâle de 1er été avec sa couleur verdâtre et sa gorge noire) dans le premier boisé à droite à partir de l'entrée. L'oiseau s'est déplacé ensuite dans...le verger. Au moment où je quittais, il chantait toujours dans le secteur du verger.

De plus, j'ai répertorié seize espèces de parulines dont les toujours appréciées Parulines du Canada, à poitrine baie et à gorge orangée. La Paruline jaune domine largement en nombre suivie de la flamboyante et de la croupion jaune. Viennent ensuite les Parulines rayée, masquée, à tête cendrée et obscure. Les Grives à dos olive étaient présentes en grand nombre également. 66 espèces ont été inscrites sur le feuillet pour cette agréable matinée. - Daniel Ouellette
