Ottawa - Another relatively easy to find summer species but when one lands a few feet away you just have to take the shot. There is almost no vertical crop on this image.

Sue Bishop: Great closeup, Brian!
Brian Morin: This was the hawk of the day. I had a banner experience with 26 Rough-legs, a high count for the winter but this was the only one that offered me a chance to memorialize the outing. It also ended up being one of my better perched shots of the species.

Hamilton - Long-tailed Ducks are common in the area in winter but I had to capture this bird. It had the longest tail I have seen on this species.

Ahmad Shah: Fabulous capture, superb detail.
Brian Morin: Thanks. The light, while dull, gave uniform colour. The lack of wind kept the water like glass.

Kingston (Wolfe Island) - A common raptor but it is hard to get good shots of them, especially an adult. I loved the way it was perched, especially showing the tail. It faced away so I called it to get it to look my way. It worked!

Ingleside - There have been numerous sightings of these local breeders this winter.
The bird was hunting the roadside, enabling me to stay in the car to photograph it.
