While not the best photo this image captured a Peregrine just after it plucked a Green-winged Teal off the surface of the water at the Almonte Sewage Lagoon. A true waterfowl hunter in action!

I received a report of a Black-throated Gray Warbler on the Quebec side in Aymer (Gatineau). As this would be a lifer I grabbed the binos and camera and went looking.

This peekaboo shot was the only one I captures with the bird in sunshine. For the most part it was heavy overcast.

Lifer 322 for my Ottawa area list!

I have had an incredible year chasing rarities but chasing flycatchers in Dec. in a snowstorm boarders on insanity.

Well call me crazy but we were again successful in tracking down an incredibly rare bird. We drove a total of 14 hours to get to see this Fork-tailed Flycatcher reported in Lyme Connecticut.

Despite the intense snow fall we managed to not only find the flycatcher but to obtain some decent images.

Thanks Paul Lagasi!

It is nice when the birds come to you. This female Cooper's Hawk made a meal of one of the Morning Doves that frequent my backyard.
