This bird is still present, found recently near Toronto. This is currently the only Barnacle Goose in North America, a bird that arrived last spring, likely from Iceland.
Great find, Brian!
Very interesting species.
This works well with the floral highlights. Good details on the bird.
Beautiful!
I like the perspective.
The bird obligingly turned its head so you could capture the all important cap. Good detail.
The bird was part of a small flock of warblers working the black spruce trees and was the only group I saw that day.
Excellent capture.
Nice photo of a local bird with a beautiful splash of colour.
This was a tough one because it was in a dark forest and settings were much lower than I would have liked. Thankfully there was some background light to help.
beautiful shot.
Nice pose. She blends right in.
In the past week several ibises have turned up in parts of Southern and now here in Eastern Ontario. This bird is arguably the easiest to spot and photograph, beside a subdivision along a walking path. We were able to take time out and check for a couple of Nelson’s Sparrows along the cattails. They were much more challenging.
Nice shot!
Wonderful!
Unfortunately gone for another year.
You got lucky on that one.

Yes, and it was very far off!!
This little guy was not as cooperative as in some years. I made several unsuccessful trips before finding it.
Nicely done.
