    Sparrow, Eastern Townships, Quebec.

    Doesn't look like any of the usual species at this time of year in our area. Note the pink legs and the very bold tan stripe across the eye.
  2. Plectrophane

    Hybrid or leucistic bird, Burbank pond, Danville, Quebec.

    We found this bird yesterday, among about 1000 Snow Geese and 2000 Canada Geese. To me, this me looks like a leusistic pure canada goose. But some birder who were with me are convinced it's a hybrid Branta canadensis X Anser caerulescens. What do you think?

    Warblers, southern Quebec.

    Many different species passing in the area these days. including Bay-breasted Walbler. I think this is one of them but have some doubt. The second one is a Magnolia , I'm pretty sure. Some are relativeley easy to ID. It's far from easy to take any good photos.

    Sandpipers, Missisquoi Bay of lake Champlain, Qc.

    First question: are those two birds the same species or not. They do look very similar, but so do a lot of those small calidris sandpipers. To me, the bird on the right (in focus on the second photo), looks slightly larger. And though we can't rely on the silhouette because of the posture of...

    Sandpipers, Missisquoi bay (Lake Champlain), Quebec.

    Seen yesterday Baird's Sandpiper I believe... still have a little doubt they might be something else. There were 3 of them, with a group of semipalated sandpipers and semipalmated plovers. They did seem a bit larger, especially in flight.

    Scoters, Eastern Townships, Quebec.

    I first, I thought they were Surf Scoters, so did my partner who took the picture. But White-winged seems as plausible, even though no white is vsisible on the sides.

    Catharus sp, Eastern Townships, Quebec

    These are all the same bird. The slightly warm tones on the primaries make me lean towards Bicknell's Thrush. But I can't rule out Grey cheeked, which, I think, should have a really drab plumage. Both species can be seen in very small numbers in the area at this time. Grey cheeked breeds in...

    Sandpiper, Yamaska Park, QC

    Spent yesterday afternoon on the shore of Choinière reservoir. Here's a bird that went unnoticed until my birding partner looked at her photos. The small sandpiper sitting at the feet of the Black-bellied Plover. We think it's a Least Sandpiper, judging by the apparent size. But since the legs...

    White-rumped Sandpiper?

    Can anyone confirm? Seen today in Yamaska prov. park, Eastern Townships, Quebec.

    Thrush, southern Quebec

    I was on a field trip with a group of birders at Montgomery bird sanctuary (on the US border, Eastern Townships, QC) last Sunday (May 28). We were in a deciduous forest, consisting mainly of sugar maple. Under the dense canopy, the poor lighting made it impossible to take any good photos, so...

    Sandpiper on lake Champlain Quebec.

    I was on the shore of Missisquoi bay yesterday. Some unusual species have been reported there over the last coupe of weeks. One of them was a Western Sandpiper. I'm hoping that the bird pictured here might be the one. Here are two versions of the same photo, one a little darker than the other...

    Sandpipers on Missisquoi bay, Quebec, Canada

    These were taken on Labour Day weekend on the shore of lake Champlain's Missisquoi bay near the Quebec-US border. All these birds were in the same area at the same time. The first one looks like an adult Semipalmated in transitional plumage. The middle two, I'm pretty confident, are juvenile...

    Hello from southern Quebec

    Hi, my name is Alain. I live in a small town in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec. I'm glad I found this forum and its many intersting topics. I've been interested in wildlife since childhood. I'm an active member of two bird clubs and have taken part as a volunteer in several...
