Canada (Québec) adult, outside normal range
Vaudreuil-Dorion - I was going to wait a while to post but this one is too significant to wait. This is day four of sightings with the bird that is part of the Forked-tails that breed in southern South America. They normally migrate from wintering grounds in northern South America to the far south in their spring, which is now. This bird has undergone a 'reverse misorientation' travelling at least 4,000 km the wrong way. A few individuals are reported in North America every year and occasionally even in Canada, like this one. There was another a month ago in Northern Ontario near Thunder Bay. This is a big treat for Canadian birders and is my first.

Good job to find and capture this bird. We have seen it in Peru.
Well done Brian .
Magnificent first upload-a badge well deserved. I’ve yet to see one. Congrats!
Amazing to see here and especially this time of the year.
Such different habit than their stronghold in South America!!
Nice catch,Brian!
