-Went up north with George, Anthony, and Harry yesterday.
-Way too hot for the time of year, especially in the boreal forest.
-We got a solid taste of boreal birds, with most expected finches encountered.
-A flock of 30-ish Bohemian Waxwings on mainstreet Saint-Donat was a pleasant surprise. They were spotted in a fruiting tree, then moved to a nearby conifer.
-White-winged Crossbills and Pine Siskins were spotted by roadside, getting after the salt and grit.
- Always a treat to clap peepers on Hawfinch-like Evening Grosbeaks, as they tend to stay up north.
-A Golden-crowned Kinglet heard near Tremblant.
-Three Wild Turkeys and a Ring-billed Gull spotted from the car near Prévost.
-20ish species on the day.
It was foggy as all get-up last night ‘round midnight. I was monitoring a flight tracking app, commiserating with the poor bastards that were circling for 90 minutes, before having to divert to Québec City due to fuel issues. The pea soup fog and temperature hovering just above zero reminded me of a Gageo Island pre-dawn, in mid-April.
