Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: Jun 8 2015

Details: adult

Ottawa - This bird is Ontario's first Little Egret. It was spotted last week a few km away but only seen really for a day; refound in Kanata today. It does move around quite a bit. Last week it had head plumes. Gone now. Feet yellow but not quite as bright as Snowy Egret. Lores, in front of eyes, blue/gray. A bit larger than Snowy Egret but much smaller than Great Egret.

Date taken: Sep 24 2015

Details: juvenile

Ottawa - this bird has cooperated for observers for a couple of weeks. Most of the time it spends sitting on the water in the middle of the Ottawa River waiting to chase gulls. It lifts off occasionally, puts on a show in hot pursuit. For this shot it was soaring like a gull for about 90 seconds. Very nice of it.

Oakville - one of two birds present at a sewage treatment plant for several days after a major flight into southern Ontario along lakes Erie and Ontario late last week. Very difficult to shoot in flight and they seldom landed and never close by.

Bullock's Oriole (1)

Icterus bullockii

Brian Morin

Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: Nov 30 2015

Details: female, hybrid

Pakenham - (west of Ottawa) Not what we were expecting to find after the great views we had of the Mountain Bluebird. This bird likely came in on the same weather system from the U.S. Southwest at least 10 days ago. DNA sequencing of the captured bird (taken in January to save it from imminent death by freezing) suggests this is possibly a hybrid Bullock's x Baltimore Oriole.

Piranga rubra

Brian Morin

Canada (Ontario)

Date taken: Jan 1 2016

Ottawa - After careful review by a number of qualified observers this bird was considered to be a first year male. It is a great bird at any time here and even better on a snowy winter day.
