[BNS_members] Of Interest: Massive Warbler Migration in Tadoussac & eBird Report

[Patrick Kelly]

The current issue of Bird Watchers Digest has a feature article on Tadoussac, including a report of the massive birding event that happened there on May 28, 2108. The highlights included 72,000 Tennessee warblers, 50,000 redstarts, 108,000 Cape May warblers, 108,000 magnolia warblers, 144,000 bay-breasted warblers, 14,000 Canada warblers… the best estimate is that about 700,000 warblers were seen that day.

Good day,

Thanks to Elisabeth Kosters for sharing this eBird checklist and report showing a quarter million warblers and other birds (wow!!) recorded in Tadoussac, Québec. The report of this day and the photos and videos are incredible. See here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S139153079
