Spontaneous Spring Field Trip Saturday, June 2 8:00 AM - Half-day outing Our spontaneous spring field trip this coming Saturday will be a repeat of a "Summer Series of Birding" doorbell dining trip back on July 24, 2010. That trip produced 66 species, the highest number we have ever had on a summer outing. The participants of that trip all agreed that we should repeat doorbell dining this trip, but earlier, in the peak spring birding season, so that's what we will do on Saturday. The trip covers sections of St-Lazare (including the very productive Fief Road), Ste-Marthe & Ste-Justine de Newton, then heads across the Quebec/Ontario border. We then head north ending up at Pointe Fortune , at the Carillon Dam. This will be a half-day trip (maybe a little more if the birds cooperate), mostly driving, but with several stops along the route. The park at Pointe Fortune is a good location to have a picnic lunch at the end of the trip should any of you wish to bring lunch along. doorbell dining MEETING PLACE: Hudson Inn parking lot at Exit 17 off of Highway 40. DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO MEETING SPOT: Take the Trans-Canada Highway 40 (direction Ottawa) to Exit 17 - Highway 201 Montee Lavigne / Hudson.

ITINERARY: From the Hudson Inn, we will drive south on Highway 201 into St-Lazare checking out Fief Road & Montée Ste-Angelique, looking for various species of field and grassland birds, and songbirds including warblers, etc. We then head west towards the Quebec/Ontario border along ch. Ste-Marie, into Ontario to Lemieux doorbell dining Road & La Grande Montee Road.
