Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers
Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

I have lived on the Magdalen Islands all my life and have been birding since 1991. We find on average 200 species a year. The total species recorded so far for the islands is over 320 species. The endangered breeding species are: Piping plover (only nesting grounds remaining in Quebec ) the Roseate Tern and the Horned Grebe, Nelson's sharp-tailed Sparrow. Also nesting on the island is a small colony of Black-headed Gulls. Bird Rock and Brion Islands located 32 and 16 kilometres from the main islands offer spectacular views of the many Northern Gannets, common and thick-billed Murres also Black-legged Kittiwakes and Atlantic Puffins. The thick-billed Murre colony is the most southernly in North America. Also a good numbers of shorebirds (26 species) are seen during each fall migration (August-September).

The island of Montreal is surrounded by areas where birds congregate especially during the migratory season. There is also an urban forest on Mount Royal in the middle of the city where many birds can be spotted. I am an archaeologist and a Scout leader so I have long enjoyed nature and the outdoors. I am a recent member of the Bird Protection Quebec and am learning a lot about our local avians by participating in many of their outings.
