Chris: Terrific to see the adult. Have had some reports of immature and one sighting in Chateauguay in 1990s.
Brian Morin: Normally lingering out of place birds are immature so this was a plus. As luck would have it, on my travels in southwestern Ontario on this trip I had seen an immature three days prior.

Chris: Fabulous colours. Great find and capture too!
Brian Morin: Everything worked with this bird. It was in the best possible location for shooting for light and was close. I got it from my car at the end of someone's property that had a very small pond and wetland added at the end of the lawn. It worked for me and for the bird.
