BrianMorin: Ours showed up around the same date.
Chris: The weather was continuously windy from the East and Northeast, near 50km/h in the morning. It seem to keep the birds lower down.

BrianMorin: Excellent capture. I was as close but there were branches in the way for my birds.
Chris: Thanks. This guy took a short 5 second pause here, thankfully. Then went back to his usual pattern ☺️

On of my favourite species, ever since first seeing him in 1989 in Pointe Claire. Seen during his thousand mile journey, successfully finding small bugs to eat in the pine needles. Long Point, Ontario.

BrianMorin: Great Surf shot. Better than a placid setting. The obvious caption would be 'Surf's up'
Chris: I have a bunch. Was tough to choose between this further out view or close-ups with the crashing waves

BrianMorin: Good capture. With those subdued colours it would be easy to overlook.
Sue Bishop: Glad you were able to see some of our old friends.
