Turdus pilaris

Details: outside normal range

Sturgeon Falls - This bird has been high on my wish list for decades but being a Eurasian species the chances of seeing one here were slim. The last one to appear in Ontario was 42 years ago. After our success we almost added a second bird the next day in far eastern Quebec while watching a wayward Painted Bunting at a feeder. We didn't know that a bird showed up nearby the day before and we were told that it had been seen that morning a few hundred metres away from where we were. We missed it by an hour. It was not seen again unfortunately so we missed seeing two birds in two days in two months in two provinces. What are the odds of that? Both individuals likely came over from Iceland.

I've been attempting for months to get back to the review of photos from earlier this year. Various things have prevented that until now. Happy to see our migratory friends again. Long Point, Ontario.

Details: immature, outside normal range

Aylmer - A rare flight of spoonbills brought birds to Ontario and Quebec. Ontario's first was in a conservation area being enjoyed by numerous birders, photographers and locals out for a walk. This was a real treat for us all. Most of the time it was at a distance but once it came within range.
