Northern Mockingbird about 150 km n. of Lebel-sur-Qu•villon in early Jun was unexpected so far north (M.Poulin).Bohemian Waxwings still made the news this summer; a flock of 12 was found at Brisay 3 Jun, but the ultimate proof of breeding in the Region is still awaited (RC, JFS).Extralimital warblers included a male Bluewinged Warbler that stopped at Bromont 16 Jun (BH), a singing male Prairie Warbler also at Bromont 8-13 Jun (JM.B•liveau, m. ob.), a Worm-eating Warbler on Mount M•gantic 5 Jun (K.Clark), and a Yellow-breasted Chat at Wakefield 24 Jul (fide DT).Two Vesper Sparrows at Carleton 4 Jun were considered rare for the Gasp•sie region (R. Caissy).Le Conte's Sparrows were doing extremely well in the T•miscamingue region, as shown by counts of 16 at Fug•reville 23 lul, 6 at Saint-Eug•ne-de-Guigues 22 Jul, and 2 at Notre-Dame-du-Nord 29 Jun (JF), but a count of 181 individuals in the s.James Bay region 21-26 Jul was outstanding (MR, FS, BJ, LR).Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows were also surprisingly abundant in the same area, with 422 individuals counted mostly in Cabbage Willow Bay and Boatswain Bay (MR, FS, BJ, LR).According to these observers, several thousand birds were probably nesting there.Two recently-fledged birds on ile aux Fermiers near Montreal in late Jul provided a long-awaited and definitive breeding record for this site, where the sparrow has showed up annually for more than two decades (J.Perras et aL).Single White-crowned Sparrows at Sorel 18 Jun (C.Geoffroy) and at Sacr•-Coeur-de-Marie, near Thefiord Mines 5-7 Jul (L.Lemoine) were well s. of their breeding range.A pair whose both members were carefully identified as Western Meadowlarks nested successfully at Saint-Eug•ne-de-Guigues, T•miscamingue 8-22 Jul, raising at least 2 young (JF, ph.).One of the highlights of the summer was the discovery of the first nests ever reported in the Region for the Orchard Oriole.One was discovered 25 Jun at Saint-Armand, where 3 young were successfully fledged 3 Jul (JG.Papineau et aL, m. ob.).A second nest was discovered at Sainte-Annede-Bellevue, Montreal 26 Jun, a mere 24 hours later; 4 young left this nest 29 Jun (B.Barnhurst, R. Perreault, m. ob.).In addition, an ad.male was seen at Cap Tourmente 6 Jun (R. Lepage, fide JM.Giroux), and an apparent juv. at Saint-Hubert 28 Jul (R. Bdhumeur).The Baltimore Oriole was reported from several localities in Gasl:4sie throughout Jun, and breeding was finally confirmed at Restigouche 2 Jul, a first for this region (C.Pitre).
