Mount-Royal Cemetery, April 14, 2023
-Hot and sunny as heck lately, as the spring birds continue to arrive in Montreal.
-32 species logged in four hours.
-Two Cooper’s Hawks were engaging in aerial courtship displays.
-A Red-shouldered Hawk was energetically mobbed by American Crows.
-Fox Sparrows (best sparrow EVER) were found in most dark brushy areas, some of them showing uncharacteristically well.
-Plenty of Golden-crowned Kinglets were seen…but no Ruby-crowned.
NDG 'Quiet Place,' April 16, 2023
-28 bird species spotted in 90 minutes.
-Fox Sparrow and Winter Wren were personal firsts for the site.
-Loads of Dark-eyed Juncos, Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, and Northern Flickers were out and about.
-In contrast to the cemetery, plenty of Ruby-crowned Kinglets were seen…but no Golden-crowned.
-A pair of Eastern Phoebes looked to be investigating a suitable nesting spot under the eaves of an old building.
-Could have sworn I heard a Yellow-rumped Warbler and a shorebird sp…but the European Starlings were quite sing-y, so who knows.
-Also notable were an Eastern Cottontail and several Mourning Cloaks.
