adult, summer plummage, outside normal range
Erieau - The occasional individual deviates from its western flight path that would normally take it to South Dakota or even southern Alberta. I made two attempts at photographing this individual and on the second day it was much closer, offering excellent views. The breeding plumage is stunning, right down to the ruby-red eye. I've waited a long time for this bird.

male, adult
Point Pelee National Park - This bird was ridiculously easy to photograph. It hung around a very small area and regularly grabbed onto the bark of tree trunks to pick off insects, much like a nuthatch.
