Prévost, Oct 27-28, 2023
Went up for an annual visit to my buddy Joey's, up north in quiet Prévost. We slipped in some birding in his backyard, and in the fields around his place.
Of note:
-A Golden Eagle was a nice surprise, in spite of the fact that it was wayyyy up there, just a menacing dot, drifting south
-Where scrubby stream meets field, the sparrows lurked: At least 12 American Tree Sparrow, 6+ Song Sparrow, 6+ White-throated Sparrow, loads of Dark-eyed Juncos, and an evasive individual I’m 85% certain was a Savannah Sparrow
-Restless Pine Siskins overhead
-The seasons, they are a’changin’
-Sadly, no sign of the ‘backyard Ruffed Grouse’
-24 species noted in two separate birding sessions
