Point Pelee National Park - What a treat to have a chance to see this night bird at close range and only 18" off the ground.

Chris: Stunning colour pattern, even more so against the backdrop of the greenery
BrianMorin: The camouflage this bird has is amazing. While we can clearly see it up close, its appearance is that of a bump on a log.

Point Pelee National Park - What a treat to find one along a trail. The bird was heard calling on a few evenings but is a migrant species here. It was perched only 8 inches above the ground.

Chris: Fabulous. Glad you’re out and about at Pelee. Funny, the only one I also had was in the same setting!
BrianMorin: That's great. A day earlier the bird was in the general vicinity, on a bit higher perch but off the trail, with branches in the way, so the result wasn't worth posting.

My first time seeing a Whip-poor-will. This bird caused confusion with the experts, as it's wings were crossed at the back, leading folks to believe it was a Common Nighthawk. After further study they determined it was in fact a Whip-poor-will. Seen at Point Pelee, Canada.

This bird was pointed out by one of the banders at Long Point Bird Observatory,
It was a very dark day so this is the best I could get.
