[Maine-birds] record number of redpolls passing Tadoussac, Quebec

The Tadoussac Bird Observatory (Observatoire d'oiseaux de Tadoussac) reported yesterday that a record number of redpolls flew over their observation point: 15,790 redpolls in 7 hours. The previous record was 14,391 on October 24, 2010. Tadoussac is only 50+ miles (83 kms) north of the northern tip of Maine. The concentration of birds, though, tends to remain along the north shore of the St. Lawrence. But that's a lot of redpolls. You can read about their sightings in this post: http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Mail/Ornitho-Qc/1829208?year=2015

get ready…
