Grassland Birds on the way to Shawville

June 22, 2017

We were lucky to see two Brown Thrashers and a Savannah Sparrow on Ch. de la Rivière.  But imagine our marvelous good fortune to see an Upland Sandpiper on a wire near Shawville, Qc.

A House Wren Makes a Nest in our Box

June 18, 2017

Grant spotted the House Wren and heard it singing.  We saw it gathering twigs and food for the nest.  We also spotted a juvenile American Robin on the back fence.

More Good Sighting at the Cottage

June 11, 2017

I surprised a Bald Eagle in the water, and it flew up with difficulty to dry it's wings.  Upon returning from fishing, I spotted a Red-necked Grebe near the mouth of our bay.



Later, we did our first Loon Count.  We only saw 3 pairs, but a female was on the nest.
