One could be forgiven at first glance to think there was a pair of House Finch's on Sue and Ahmad's feeder at Long Point - however this female is a Purple Finch mixing things up.

These guys aren't seen very often, so here's one for our viewing pleasure despite the messy foreground. Port Rowan sewage lagoon, Ontario.

Forster's Tern (17)

Sterna forsteri

Chris

Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: May 14 2018

Details: multiple species

Another low-light shot, just before sunset. I probably wouldn't have uploaded, however this provided a unique comparison of the Forster's and Common Tern right next to each other. The Forster's has lighter wing tips, slightly more orange bill, deeper forked tail. Long Point, Ontario, Canada.

American Woodcock (12)

Scolopax minor

Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: May 14 2018

Details: adult

A heard and then saw a Woodcock land in front of the car at Long Point, Ontario. It was after sunset but with some light still around. I managed a long exposure to capture the scene, though quite grainy at high ISO.

Scarlet Tanager (70)

Piranga olivacea

Brian Morin

Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: May 29 2018

Details: male, adult

Canoe Lake - the hardest thing with this species is capturing its true colour. The camera has a hard time with the intensity of the red. I actually had to tone it down a bit afterwards and may not have gotten it quite right. The bottom line is that this is a very brightly coloured bird. I had 'Point Pelee' looks at this individual which was great.

Cerulean Warbler (3)

Setophaga cerulea

(Vulnerable)

Brian Morin

Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: May 29 2018

Details: male, adult

Canoe Lake - Boy was this a tough one. It took a while to find them (I had four that day) but because they rarely come down below 15-20 feet you are always looking up and almost always into full foliage so very poor light. This was one of the few shots in reasonable light conditions.
