CONDITIONS

| Rodents abundance evaluation: |
|
|
|
Breeding conditions:
|
| Weather conditions were quite average in the southern James Bay region, with early June nest initiation. Unfortunately hatching success in the Semipalmated Plover was very low (as usual) there probably because there are many aerial predators - Ravens and gulls.
