Chris: Terrific Brian 😃
BrianMorin: While this is an expected migrant, at times in small to medium-sized flocks here, getting to see it at close range is always appreciated. It was so close (there is virtually no crop on the image) that taking the shots was very difficult because it was in constant motion.

Ottawa - A great regional bird dropped in with a mixed flock of peeps. Being a juvenile it was quite accommodating of the attention it attracted.

Chris: Fabulous. For the non-birdwatcher, just another bird. For those in the know, one of the most interesting species on earth 😁 (I’m referring to the migration)
BrianMorin: Agreed and a threatened species. Their numbers have declined significantly in the last 40 years.
