Ottawa - Only a few of these large shorebirds show up in the area in the fall. It is amazing to watch it feeding, often sticking its head far into the water and into soft mud, probing for invertebrates and small worms.

Ahmad Shah: Excellent find.
Brian Morin: I had heard about the bird and figured it should offer some good views. It did better than that. I sat on a rock by the shore, which had a 40 foot-deep mudflat and at times it wandered less than five metres away.

Ingleside - This tall species can show up in the area in singles or pairs every few years. Always nice to see.

Ingleside - the bird was seen on the St. Lawrence. It is regionally a rare migrant and locally a very rare migrant. It spent much of its time searching for leeches. Unfortunately it was a one-day wonder.

Ottawa - this bird has been present for over a week and I had the chance to track it down today. We spotted it immediately as we pulled up to a small retention pond. You don't find too many rarities before you even get out of the car.

Ottawa - this bird eluded me the other day but I had luck today. Spent an hour 100 feet out in the river (these boots didn't leak) with tripod set up. Very cooperative.
