Darlington Provincial Park - Breeding colours are stunning compared with the familiar white/gray/black we see most of the year. A majority of the birds I saw had weak colours or the grayer plumage of non-breeding adults.

Ahmad Shah: Excellent capture for a late fall visitor.
Brian Morin: I was fighting strong winds and waves lapping at the ice along the Lake Ontario shore, as was the bird. The great thing about the experience is while I remained stationary, the bird moved about, wandering as close as 7 feet from me.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park (Gull Island) - I had a lot of fun with three of these uncommon, attractive sandpipers. They frequently wandered within a few feet of me as they picked insects off low vegetation. They occasionally took on this characteristic profile with body and neck stretched to extend their view.
