Beaver Lake - I spotted this bird sitting on the gravel right beside the Trans Canada Highway so I turned around and parked across the road. It popped up onto the snowbank offering a perfect eye-level setting before flying across the road.

Chris: Excellent photo. Great to see him out of the tangles and in good light!
BrianMorin: It was a total fluke. I'm lucky it stuck around long enough for some shots.

Chris: Wow…what a sight. You must have been very calm to calm and stealthy to away with such a great result
Krish: Thanks, Chris, the bird seemed concerned about two Hill Mynahs who were buzzing it (not in this footage) and probably found those more threatening.

Keeping a big distance and behind vegetation, we managed to see a Santa Marta Parakeet for a minute or so. Probably the rarest bird of the trip - one can only hope for better days ahead. Cuchillo San Lorenzo, Santa Marta Mountains.

Always nice to see a new warbler, let alone a special one restricted to a tiny area of the world. Thanks to Ricardo Martinez for spotting and identifying. Santa Marta mountains, Colombia
