I tried but failed to get a photo of this species. Excellent job.
You are right about the challenge. Its preference for very tall dead trees makes it a tough one to capture.
You were there the same time we were.
Your photo is much closer and better than mine.It was great to see though.
I rarely get to see this species so it was a nice treat. Too bad we didn’t spot each other that day. I was just stopping in from a shorebird expedition in Oshawa. There was a nice flock there, including the Buff-breasted Sandpiper, but Presqu’ile came up short. Now that Gull Island is accessible there is more to be found.
