Ahmad Shah: Nicely captured.
BrianMorin: It was a lucky find. In fact there were three species in the same bush, all feeding on white berries. The other two were Red-eyed and Warbling.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - A Peregrine flyby set all the shorebirds scrambling. It was unsuccessful and moved on. This is the number one predator of migrating shorebirds, followed by the smaller Merlin. Both appeared that day.
