Parc Jean-Drapeau, December 30, 2021
Was good to knock the dust off the old knees, for a year’s end bimble ‘round Parc Jean-Drapeau. Relatively birdy for the time of year, with 21 species in 3.5 hours. Seasonal oddities included two Hermit Thrush spotted near the parking lot, as well several White-throated Sparrows (‘Fried eggs’). The day felt odd – warm-ish, not a puff of wind, and a dim crepuscular overcast all day. Oh, loads of House Finch, innit.
What else? Went to Villa on Boxing Day, came away with nine species, but no Snow Bird mysteries.
