Beer cans, bicycles, sewer covers among junk removed from St Lawrence River

  MONTREAL Old bicycles, sewer cover, loads of beer cans and a porcelain pig pepper shaker were among the items pulled from the St. Lawrence River on Saturday during an annual clean-up operation. This year, the group of environmentalists focused on a portion of the river in Kahnawake. Divers scoured the bottom of the waterway, locating a wide array of junk. “I do believe that we need a little bit more awareness regarding the use of our river,” said environmentalist Nathalie Lasselin, an underwater explorder and filmmaker who led the diving team. “The St. Lawrence is the source of drinking and tap water for 80 per cent of the population of Montreal and for 50 per cent of the population of Quebec,” said Lasselin. “We just take it for granted.”

Annual Christmas Bird Count teams scour Montreal skies and shrubbery for flying friends

  MONTREAL Teams were out with their eyes in the skies on Saturday, walking the wooded areas, wetlands and waterfronts in and around Montreal, armed with long-lensed cameras, binoculars and pens and paper. They were looking for birds. The teams were part of the annual Christmas Bird Count organized by Bird Protection Quebec, an event that just celebrated its 85th year. And the numbers were exciting: they found 16,107 birds, a big jump over last year s 11,877. They also tied with an all-time record, spotting 77 species. The only time that high a number was previously recorded was in 2012.  The event brings a lot of suspense for those who take part. On Sunday morning, organizer Sheldon Harvey was still waiting for the final numbers from one of his top birders.
