Thanks for this interesting report, Martin. Of course I have to ask if you saw
any butterflies, particularly monarchs? One year in early September, Al
Wormington found 3 fresh monarchs at Moosonee. Wonder where they came from?
Cheers!

OFO Moosonee Outing - Sept 7 to 11
The initial OFO Moosonee outing with 16 participants, from September 7th to
11th, was a success with a total of 74 species of birds. On the day at
Ship Sands Island the participants had close views of 8 LeConte's Sparrows,
and 3 Nelson's Sparrows. There were a variety of shorebirds, flocks of Snow
Geese, with lots of blue morphs, Yellow Warbler, and lots of Northern
Harriers. Other highlights include 8 Wood Ducks on the Moosonee Sewage
lagoon, (seen on multiple days), long look at a Philadelphia Vireo as it was
tenderizing a caterpillar, flock of 10 Boreal Chickadees in Moosonee,
Northern Shovelers on both Moosonee and Moose Factory lagoon, Blue-winged
Teal on Moose Factory Lagoon, and flock of 90+ Sandhill Cranes from the
train. Daily checklists submitted to e-Bird.
