57 km today, counting for my 56 km objective. Saw thousands of snow buntings in Baie-du-Febvre's fields near http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&safe=off&num=100&q=60+rg+de+la+Grande+Plaine,+Baie-du-Febvre&ie=UTF8&ll=46.112486,-72.672071&spn=0.022194,0.055618&z=15&iwloc=addr. These birds are migratory but as most come from the south to our are in spring, these birds fly here in the fall and migrate north from here to the tundra in spring. Winter here is "south" for them!
Used to be people hunted these little birds with nets. Does'nt look like there's much to eat on them!
