Ottawa - This is migration time for shorebirds and a very small number of phalaropes have been reported. This species is very tolerant of people and if you remain still and wait for the bird to approach, it may come very close. This very young bird passed by at 3 metres. There is almost no crop for this shot.

Long Sault Parkway - A couple of herons were working the shallow water for frogs and minnows. This bird would spend time waiting for an opportunity then when it tired of that location it would run like a sandpiper to another spot.

Kingston - The Neotropic Cormorant is a provincial rarity that is making an annual appearance in the province in recent years. The species is slowly expanding its range northward from Texas and Louisiana. Note the proportionately longer tail than Double-crested, duller orange skin on the throat and faint white facial marking. The bird is noticeably smaller than its cousin.
