The bird was on territory and I was able to get it from my car. I thought I had some fairly good shots at Point Pelee but this turned out even better.

Chris: Great capture of a striking species!
BrianMorin: It is our most richly marked breeding species. They are not common but in the right habitat there are a few locations we can find them.

This male had just eaten and was grooming himself.
The video is a little old and dates back to before I learned about transitions & video stabilization. Please bear with me :)

Amherst Island - A few pairs breed on the island. This male fed fairly close to the trail I was on.

Ahmad Shah: Fantastic capture, lovely habitat.
BrianMorin: Sometimes everything comes together. I saw this shot before it happened. I watched the bird moving about and hoped it would approach this tiny bit of water which had a great sky reflection. It did briefly and I made sure I took advantage of the opportunity. The low, tight vegetation that went right into the water made this look like a lush salad. It was a perfect setting.

Point Pelee National Park - The only reason I can say this was a male is because the female was on the nest nearby. We watched the bird doing its 'dance' as it probed the mud for worms. This shot is uncropped. The bird was very close to a trail and remained within seven metres two days straight. The food must have been good there but also he was not far from the nest to offer assistance if required.

Ahmad Shah: Excellent closeup, it is not very easy to photograph it.
Chris: Agree. A tough one at best. Great job!
