Date taken: Aug 9 2022

Details: adult

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.

Chris: Terrific action. The burgundy on this bird stands out.
BrianMorin: The adults have a really nice colour. I think I would have given the bird a name other than green because there is very little of that colour on the wings.

Chris: Terrific one Brian. I had to go back through the Sedge Wrens as this is not often uploaded…looks like you had one last in 2014. It would be a lifer for me.
BrianMorin: There are not many areas here where we can find them, unlike Marsh Wrens. Good luck on your own quest.
