Iroquois - A native of Russia and China, this species is feral in many countries including several US states. It occasionally shows up in Canada including one that wintered in Montreal last year. This duck is further upriver and could be the same one. It is very tolerant of the cold as long as it has open water.

Stoney Creek - Unfortunately I don't get the chance to submit hummingbird shots very often and so far that has been limited to the Ruby-throated, until now. This West Coast visitor was a pleasant surprise.

St. Clair National Wildlife Area - A rare bird in Canada and a new species for me. It spent most of its time on wires so a brief trip to a natural setting was what I had hoped for. At that location it was also much lower. Oddly enough, there is also one of these Florida natives in Quebec.
