Oaky warbler field

Ahhh, sewage

Popped southwest for an early autumnal birding session with George yesterday. We tallied about 70 species at Parc de la Pointe-du-Buisson in Beauharnois, a nearby sewage treatment plant, and points between.

At PDLPDB, a row of dead trees in a lovely wet meadow fringed by old oaks was super birdy - nine warbler species, and a good collection of migrating birds gave us acute cases of warbler neck.

A nearby sewage treatment plant held a hirundine IQ quiz, as well as a pair of spinning Red-necked Phalaropes. I love a good phalarope.
