Brian Morin: It's that time of year. Shorebirds are making their run to the Arctic, like this Least Sandpiper, our smallest migrant.

Prince Edward County - This North American rarity has been present for about 10 days. The water in a flooded field was deep enough that I only got the occasional glimpse of the strikingly coloured legs a few times. I have only seen a very few of these birds in my years of birding and this was my best result so far.

Chris: Fabulous colours. Great find and capture too!
Brian Morin: Everything worked with this bird. It was in the best possible location for shooting for light and was close. I got it from my car at the end of someone's property that had a very small pond and wetland added at the end of the lawn. It worked for me and for the bird.

Seen at Enosburg, Vermont. I may have been near a nest by complete chance, as I’ve not been so close to an excited Ovenbird.
