Champneuf (Abitibi County) - I have been tracking the movement of this species since mid-December. Last winter there was a major irruption south so we should not have expected anything noteworthy for several years at least. However, the birds had other plans and have staged a minor irruption into familiar territory again. That worked for me. On this trip I saw 64 (my personal record) with 44 in one location. These birds are a lot of fun to watch and are a real treat for someone from southern Canada, a driveable distance to Arctic birds.

Sue Bishop: Wow! Wonderful!
Brian Morin: It was sure a wow for me as well. Despite the brutal temperature on that trip, -36C the first morning, the birds warmed my heart.
