Spring Migration Tadoussac is positioned in the Atlantic Flyway, meaning that in the spring and fall there are many birds passing through. The spring is particularly good for birding as many stop to rest and feed after crossing the St. Lawrence River and before heading further north. ​ Dark-eyed Junco Purple Finch Blue-headed Vireo Nashville Warbler Evening Grosbeak Golden-crowned Kinglet - this one hit the window and sat stunned for about 30 minutes, then flew away. When this happens you should put them in a safe place - under a chair or something and leave them alone - most will recover. Black-throated Blue Warbler Magnolia Warbler Palm Warbler Cape May Warbler One of a group of flycatchers (Empidonax). This one is probably a Least Flycatcher but you really can't tell unless you hear them vocalizing. Yellow-rumped Warbler, male and female, probably the most common Warbler in the region. There are 2 varieties, Audubon and Myrtle . This one is Myrtle because the chin is white not yellow and the eye patch is black not grey. Blackburnian Warbler - one of the prettiest Warblers - male has a bright orange face, this one flew in to watch 2 White-throated Sparrows having a bath in the melting snow puddle. The one at bottom right is a female. Brown Creeper - these birds fly to the bottom of a tree, climb up searching for food, then fly to the bottom of the next tree. Often hard to see because they are well camouflaged. Bay-Breasted Warbler Black and White Warbler White-crowned Sparrow Ruby-crowned Kinglet - these birds are around all year but hard to see as they are tiny and fast moving. Whenever you see a small nondescript brown bird flitting around, look carefully to see if there is a touch of red on top of the head. Rose-breasted Grosbeak And on the water.... Herring Gull Black-legged Kittiwake Bonaparte Gulls and a Great Blue Heron Double-crested Cormorants - they breed on Lark Reef, here you can see many nests in the rocks, these young birds could not fly away when the boat approaches. The Gulls, Greater Black-backed and Herring nest here as well but quickly leave their babies when approached. Cormorants have no oil in their feathers and have to dry them by hanging them out, preferably sitting on Alan's boat!! Common Loon Black Guillemot juvenile - Adults are all black except for white wing coverts. Note the legs and feet are bright red. Snow Geese - huge flocks can be seen and heard flying overhead in the spring and fall but it is unusual to see them in the summer. These were some of a group of 8 seen in July, 4 of whom had injuries to their wings and could go no further. The mates stay with them until nature takes its course and then rejoin the large flocks Barrow's Goldeneye Common Eider - lots of pairs in the spring, and large groups with chicks seen in the summer. Least Sandpiper - they breed in the Arctic and inter in south US, Mexico and Caribbean Long-tailed Duck, previously called Old Squaw Red-breasted Merganser Summer - birds are busy building nests, feeding young and then fattening up for the long flight south.. Two kinds of Scoters - above Surf Scoter, below Black Scoter. In the picture above 4 males were circling the one female, they swam around and around, sometimes changing direction, all preening and showing off in hopes of being the lucky partner! Lesser Yellowlegs White-throated Sparrow feeding 2 chicks Spotted Sandpiper tried hard to distract me away from her very young chick. Blue Jays are around all year. Northern Flicker , this pair was being fed by the male and kept him busy. Flickers stay in the area all year. Ruffed Grouse - she had young chicks but was clucking to them as she crossed the road telling them to stay hidden. One poked out for just a second, but the rest did what they were told! Ruby-throated Hummingbirds - every house that puts up a feeder will have these all summer - but remember feeders must be kept clean and no food colouring should be used. Savannah Sparrow This young White-throated Sparrow was eating blueberries! Turkey Vulture Semi-Palmated Plovers - they breed in the Arctic and inter in the south but usually there are a few on the beaches in the summer. Red-breasted Nuthatch and Downy Woodpeckers are commonly seen throughout the year Cedar Waxwing Red-eyed Vireo Herring Gull Chipping Sparrow American Three-toed Woodpecker

William Rhodes 1851-1921 & Caroline Hibler 1848-1929 William Rhodes is the third oldest of 9 children of Col William Rhodes and Anne Catherine Dunn. Their daughter is Carrie Rhodes, my grandmother. She married Frank Morewood, their children are Betty Evans (my mother, 1922-1993) and Bill Morewood (his family live in New Jersey). ​ ​ ​ William Carrie was born in 1881 so this is about 1887, Carrie and her father ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This group photo (early 1890's) is on the Col. Rhodes/Anne Dunn page William isn't in it, but he was there that day, and had his picture taken below! He was probably the photographer. That's his daughter Carrie (right side) and just to her left, her future husband Frank Morewood (first cousins!).​ In the photo below William is missing his right arm-the story goes that he went to Australia on business, and wasn't heard from for a year, much to the concern of his family...he had lost his arm in an accident and didn't write home until he could write with his left! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrie and her mother Caroline on the porch at Benmore about 1893, with sister-in-law Minnie Rhodes Morewood, and Isobel (Billy)and probably Frank. ​ NEXT PAGE PREVIOUS Caroline and William Rhodes and their daughter Carrie - William liked to have his picture taken from his left side so his missing arm wasn't visible.

I'm leaving the photos here until I get it resolved... ​ ​ ​ ​ NEXT PAGE circa 1901 - NOT William (probably brother Godfrey or...) pretending to push, his sister Minnie Rhodes Morewood, Dorothy Rhodes Evans (Dorsh), Amy Burstall (related to an in-law), Isobel (Billy) Morewood, and Carrie Rhodes - low tide on the beach in Tadoussac.
