Trois-Pistoles: Some local exploring

After class today I escaped to the beach nearby a water treatment plant. There was a lot of birds out and the weather was amazing.

Duck sp.

Where a small river met the big river there were a lot of  well camouflaged wading birds running around. At first I saw one lesser yellowlegs. I followed this for a few minutes and realized so many rocks were moving! Wait those are just a ton more birds.

There was a feeding frenzy of gulls and ducks that were too far away for me to identify. I bet there was a lot of species in there I would have enjoyed seeing but I didn't have a scope.
