I am forwarding this ad to EuroBirdnet although Canada is far away from
(most) EuroBirdnet readers. But we do seem to travel around more nowadays
as our objects (birds) do.

more than 110 breeding bird species including the Least Bittern, Canada
Goose, Redhead, Common Goldeneye, Gadwall, Pileated Woodpecker,
Red-Headed Woodpecker, and Indigo Bunting. It contains one of the the
largest Sedge Wren Colonies in Quebec. Those interested in amphibians
