St. Rose - this is the first bird I've had close enough to shoot this winter. The few others I've seen have been at a distance.

St. Rose - Part of a flock of a dozen. Look at its foot and you can see where the name comes from.

Ottawa- prompted by a call from a friend I hurried to Ottawa today for a possible last view of this long-staying vagrant warbler. With bitter cold this week and a snowstorm tonight its survival is in question. After an hour searching I found it and remained with it for 90 minutes. Most of the time it was feeding beneath trees on ground not covered by snow. Later in the afternoon it was feeding and resting/sleeping beneath a single spruce for 45 minutes. Often I was as close as 7 feet as the bird headed towards me. Too close to shoot. A suet feeder was put up this afternoon. Hopefully it will find it in the morning. Follow the Chickadees.

UPDATE: My friend picked up the bird this afternoon. It was huddled under a spruce, partially covered in snow. It died in his hands shortly after. Nature takes its course but it is still sad. The carcass will be sent to the Royal Ontario Museum to be preserved as a study skin.

It seems that Canada Warblers were easier to see in the Andes than during spring migration at Long Point,Ontario.
This one was taken at high altitude,Guango Lodge,Napo Province but we also saw them much lower down in southern Ecuador

Casselman - This is a rare combination - Snow Goose x Canada Goose. Canada x domestic goose is more expected. A goose biologist says he has only seen a few pictures like this.
