The fall migration (1997) in St-Pierre & Miquelon islands

A rather wet and windy season. The event was a two-week presence for an American White Pelican ! ... A second record for Canvasback and Worm-eating Warbler. Shorebirds coverage was far from good, as an example, 1020 birds counted on the banks of Grand Barachois August 28, too far for good species identification, is not reflected in any of the individual species report. Good passerine migration took place in the last days of September and first days of October.

Red-throated Loon : None reported since August 7, where we (RE/DL) had two birds singing in flight in Miquelon.
Common Loon : Although two appeared off the West coast of the Isthmus August 6 (RE/DL), the next ones were seen only August 27 while I counted 22 birds off the West coast of Miquelon. Regular but no significant numbers reported. They were about 12 off the South-west coast of St-Pierre November 8 (RE).
Pied-billed Grebe : One bird stayed in the same pond between Sept. 23 and October 3 (LJ/MD). Another one was seen by DL November 22, both in St-Pierre.
Red-necked Grebe : One week later than last year, there was one bird off the west coast of Miquelon Sept. 15. Thirteen other reports up to Nov. 19, maximum 12 birds (in Miquelon) October 8. Four reports for St-Pierre between October 27 and November 19 for a maximum of 4 birds (RE/DL/LJ/JCH).

A few birds only were seen in September and October. The last one was seen November 12 (LJ) between Miquelon and Langlade. This is the latest date for the species, (former one was Oct. 29).
Northern Gannet : A few as usual in September and October. There were about ten between Miquelon and the Burin peninsula October 30 (RE/JCH). One off St-Pierre November 19 (DL/RE) is a record late, latest date was November 12 (1993).

Last report is November 14 (RE/JCH/PH etc.) This is of course a new species.
Double-crested Cormorant : Several reports between August 7 and November 11. Concentrations were seen only at a distance, and from a boat, the majority were this species among about 70 seen September 13, and majority of about 60 birds seen October 7 (RE/JCH).

Semipalmated Plover : The first migrants, about 30 birds, were seen on or near the Isthmus August 6; about 40 birds were near the village of Miquelon August 9 (RE/DL). Numerous reports of relatively low numbers which probably reflect poor coverage. Last seen, one at Grand Barachois November 1 (RE).
