Christmas Bird Count 2022

Downy Woodpecker Picoides pubescens

White-breasted Nuthatch Sitta carolinensis

Black-capped Chickadee Poecile atricapillus

American Crow Corvus brachyrhynchos






  Did the CBC with Dan this year at Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery. The whole thing was almost called off because of snow…in December…in Montreal. People are kinda losing their minds over regularly scheduled snow - ‘extreme weather alert!’ I think it’s extreme that the first major snowfall comes on December 17th. Ah well.

  Overall it was decidedly quiet in the less glamorous of the two cems, with most activity confined to the little woods in the southeast of the cemetery. The thick layer of snow gave the whole affair a very Tim Burton-y feel.

Downy Woodpecker: 2
Northern Flicker: 1
American Crow: 18 (+3 in UdeM)
Common Raven: 1
Black-capped Chickadee: 17 (+2 in UdeM)
White-breasted Nuthatch: 4
American Goldfinch: 11 (+3 in UdeM)
