Mega-tardy birding notes from a rented cottage in Dunham, in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, where I spent a lovely weekend with Evelyn several weeks back. On Sunday it rained like a mofo, and there was a disconcerting thunderclap drumbeat of artillery coming from the nearby Farnham military base. Birding was mostly done through the back window and from deck chairs. Nothing unexpected, but there were some satisfying first-of-year birds around. First time in ages I’ve A) Been in a paddle boat, and B) Watched a DVD. Didn’t realize how much I’d missed both of those old-fashioned pursuits.
Haven’t checked my patch in a bit, innit.
