Chris: I tried but failed to get a photo of this species. Excellent job.
BrianMorin: You are right about the challenge. Its preference for very tall dead trees makes it a tough one to capture.

Oshawa - Had great fun with a couple of very obliging regional rarities that allowed very close approach. Actually they were the ones approaching us, not the other way around. At times they were as close as a metre. If these birds are ever reported we'd expect to check specific fields, especially sod farms but in this case they were feeding on algae-covered rocks along a beach on Lake Ontario.

Chris: Fabulous. This colour always stands out to me as unique for some reason.
BrianMorin: The buffy colour stands out. There is a similar colour on parts of a Baird's but it is not as prominent as on this species.
