Brockville - I made several trips to check out this bird but with no sighting on Tuesday I was sure it had finally departed. Then I received a call yesterday afternoon that the bird was still there and had sought shelter out of the wind closer to shore. Conditions were very challenging, shooting through narrow openings in blowing cattails while standing in rubber boots in marsh mud, trying to maintain my balance. I had great luck in very nice light.
Brockville - Ospreys are pretty run of the mill for us but I won't turn down a good shot when it presents itself. This one had just snagged a small pike.
Brockville - There had been several reports of pelicans along the St. Lawrence River between the Quebec border and the 1000 Islands in recent weeks but most were one-day wonders. This bird stuck it out for over a week north of Brockville in a conservation area.
