Point Pelee National Park - the colour of this bird is outstanding. It is so bright it can often be seen at a distance even though it is a small bird, hence its nickname 'swamp candle'.

Ahmad Shah: Fabulous capture.
BrianMorin: He was a fine specimen and at very close range. I didn't move towards him, he flew in to defend territory from another male that was 4 metres from me. At one point he landed on the railing of the boardwalk, about 2 metres from me. What a show.

Canada (British Columbia)

Details: outside normal range

About the last species I'd think to see in Vancouver. He seemed to have some spider webs stuck to his back as he feverishly scoured every corner for food. Unfortunately there were several house cats around. On a good note the weather has slightly improved from snow and sub-zero temps to sunshine and above freezing - hopefully he makes his way.

BrianMorin: Well that's a surprise, Not only is it unseasonal, it is a few thousand kilometres out of range. There's a good chance it will make it through, at least for the Christmas count if it is in the area. :)
Chris: Believe it’s in the count circle. However tracking him through suburban housing complexes…seems to be complex. I was lucky this morning, as it seemed to have disappeared from sight this afternoon. Luckily his behaviour is quite conspicuous

Chris: Now that’s a keeper. I’ve not been able to get close enough for such a shot. Fantastic to see this outcome.
BrianMorin: I encountered four birds over the visit and had a few positive opportunities, one of them quite close, even closer than this, but I liked the reflection. I'll post another later on.

This bird was discovered by Ahmad ( sashah)in Long Point provincial Park.
It is an endangered species in Canada and actually nests nearby in the swampy Carolinian forest of Backus Woods.
It was strange to come across it in a tree.
There was discussion at Long Point Observatory about weather it was bright female or a dull male.
