Overcast, high 80s,
calm
It’s the
final day of the Mt. Tremblant Blues Festival and the final determination is
that the blues were great and the birding not-so-much. We began the day by traveling up to the
summit once again in the hopes of finding something a bit more exotic than the
White-throat and Junco of yesterday.
If the Chipping sparrow qualifies in that regard, then we achieved our
goal. OK, not the greatest find,
but a pretty little bird all the same.
We did hear some juncos, we
saw a nice Common raven sitting on the cross-member of the gondola which
brought us up to the top, and we did have another sighting or two of
White-throated sparrows in fine breeding plumage, but beyond that, no too much
in the way of what we had hoped for.
We did have the opportunity to catch some great birds, but they
were of the captive kind. The
resort has a live raptor show each day which is put on by a rehabilitation
organization. Last time we
were up on the mountain, I did capture some images of these wonderful birds, so
I’ll share a couple of those with you to round out today’s blog.
