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.

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.

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.

Moose Creek - This may be Ontario's first Pink-footed Goose. It was seen one year ago in the same location and this bird was here today. Is it the same bird? That is quite possible.

Tupper Lake - A rare bird in North America and a very rare breeder. COSEWIC designates the Ross's Gull as threatened. There are about 50,000 birds worldwide mainly in Siberia but between 0 and 10 pairs breeding annually in northern Canada. There is a slight pinkish blush below, present in both sexes. Viewing conditions were poor and the bird was not as close as I'd like but we got it which was the main thing. This bird is currently in the Adirondacks on a nearly frozen river. That is possibly the most illogical place one would expect to find it. This bird should be between Russia and Alaska in the Pacific.
